Ice queen

This dazzling production opens at The Teatro at Montecasino in December this year, followed by a season at Artscape in January 2014.

The Imperial Ice Stars are renowned for marrying well-loved classical scores with breath-taking choreography and romantic narrative, creating a fusion of adrenaline-rich ice dancing and dramatic performance. Set to Tchaikovsky’s magnificent music, The Sleeping Beauty On Ice tells the timeless fairytale love story through mind-blowing high-speed leaps and throws, graceful and sublime ice dancing, awe-inspiring acrobatics and aerial gymnastics, stunning stilt skating and spectacular visual effects.

Acclaimed artistic director Tony Mercer, widely recognised as the world’s leading creator of theatre on ice, has teamed with the distinguished Russian Olympic coach Tatiana Tarasova to take contemporary ice dance to a new level, inspiring the 26-strong cast of Olympic, World, European and National Championship skaters to further raise the bar with feats so daring and complex they haven’t yet been named.

Over the last eight years, this award-winning troupe has performed over 2000 shows in more than 23 countries across five continents, gaining a worldwide following and establishing an unrivalled reputation for their sophisticated portrayals of classic works. Their previous world tours (Cinderella On Ice, Swan Lake On Ice and The Nutcracker On Ice) have been greeted with nightly standing ovations and five-star reviews.

So far almost four million people across five continents have greeted The Imperial Ice Stars’ adrenaline-infused performances with standing ovations. The Imperial Ice Stars have performed at many of the world’s most prestigious venues, from The Royal Albert Hall and Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London to the Esplanade Theatre in Singapore, and from Montreal’s Place des Arts to Johannesburg’s Teatro at Montecasino.
