Ice stars take love story to a new dimension

26 World, European & Russian ice stars take love story to a new dimension

Christchurch – from 30 June
Wellington – from 7 July
Auckland – from 21 July

The world’s premier theatrical ice skating company, The Imperial Ice Stars, are back with a dynamic new interpretation of their award-winning masterpiece SWAN LAKE ON ICE, on a two-year world tour.

With Tchaikovsky’s glorious music, exhilarating new choreography from leading ice director Tony Mercer, and dazzling new costumes, this innovative portrayal of the classic love story will take your breath away.

The 26 World, European and National Championship skaters, who between them hold more than 250 competition medals, take contemporary ice dance to a new level with their daring and graceful feats – some of which are so complex they haven’t yet been named – performed in the intimate setting of a frozen theatre stage.

Their previous three world tours (Sleeping Beauty on Ice, Swan Lake on Ice, Cinderella on Ice) have earned The Imperial Ice Stars an unrivalled reputation for pushing the boundaries in the genre of ice dance with their skill and athleticism on the ice, their creative and powerful story-telling, their sumptuous sets, spectacular special effects and opulent costumes.

The Imperial Ice Stars have won five-star praise from audiences and critics alike, and performed at some of the world’s most prestigious venues – London’s Royal Albert Hall and Sadler’s Wells, Singapore’s Esplanade Theatre, Montreal’s Place des Arts and Cape Town’s Artscape.

This adrenaline-infused Swan Lake on Ice will bring you to the very edge of your seat…
