The Imperial Ice Stars returned to the UK as part of their world tour with a dazzling new production, Swan Lake on Ice.
They are widely regarded as the premier theatrical ice skating company in the world. Their last production, Sleeping Beauty on Ice, played to over 500,000 people in ten countries. Audiences and critics were united in their praise, with the show receiving nightly standing ovations.
Swan Lake on Ice is performed to Tchaikovsky's music by 25 World, European and National Championship skaters, who between them have won over 200 medals.
The world's leading ice director and choreographer, Tony Mercer, has assembled a first class creative team which includes double Olympic figure skating gold medallist, Evgeni Platov and quadruple Olympic gold medallist Alexi Nemov. Together they have created an unrivalled show incorporating all the intricate and thrilling moves seen at the Winter Olympics and feats never seen before in figure skating.
Sumptuous sets have been designed by Eamon D'Arcy, one of Australia's leading scenic designers, with stunning costumes by Albina Gabueva from Moscow's famed Stanislavsky Theatre.
What is also amazing is the performance we attended is played out in a theatre on a normal stage with an ice floor and not a full size ice rink!
