Swan Lake on Ice in Cape Town

Be transported to another world through this classic ballet brought to life on an ice stage

Beautiful ballerinas and flawless figure skaters are the things that childhood dreams are made of. Experience the graceful moves of these dancers when the Imperial Ice Stars come to Cape Town in January for a new season of the renowned production ‘Swan Lake on Ice’. This spectacular production takes place at the beautiful Artscape Opera House and tickets are now on sale. The first show is on Thursday, 14 January 2016 and the season runs until Sunday, 31 January 2016.

Their first world tour took place from 2006 to 2008, visiting 15 countries on all five continents and earning  them the‘Best Special Entertainment Award' at the Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards.

Now they are finally coming back to the Mother City with all-new costumes, new choreographies and a revitalised passion that runs the risk of melting the ice.

This new adaption of a masterpiece of classical ballet by the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is going to leave you breathless for sure. All 26 skaters constantly trump one another with their incredible skills – one can’t decide who the best among them is. No wonder that together they hold over 250 competition medals between them!

Artistic Director Tony Mercer, known as the leading creator of theatre on ice, came up with such difficult and complex choreographic feats on ice that many of the moves don’t even have names yet. Experience it all in the frozen setting of an intimate theatre stage.

Also feast your eyes of the magnificent costumes designed by Albina Gabueva of Moscow's Stanislavsky Theatre and made by the famous Bolshoi Ballet's costume cutters. The fancy and dazzling costumes are overwhelming stunning – the icing on the cake!

It doesn’t matter if you’ve seen it before if you’re clueless about dancing, whether you’re a ballet addict or a newbie you can prepare to leave the theatre completely blown away.
