Featuring 26 contemporary ice skaters, the new production of Swan Lake on Ice at Royal Albert Hall is transforming the historic performance space into a giant ice rink for a complex and dramatic show.
Imperial Ice Stars
Combining the talents of 26 World, European and National Championship ice skaters into one show of daring stunts, graceful skating sequences and eye-popping special effects, Swan Lake on Ice at Royal Albert Hall adapts the award winning show for its presentation at the ornate and iconic London venue. Expect ingenious staging, extravagant costumes and complex choreography at the show, which stars the Imperial Ice Stars.
Daring stunts
Designed by acclaimed ice choreographer Tony Mercer, Swan Lake on Ice at Royal Albert Hall features daring throws and lifts and high speed leaps with graceful ice dancing, performed on a bespoke frozen stage. The 26-strong cast performing in Swan Lake on Ice hold over 250 competition medals between them, so you can expect to see ice skaters at the very top of their game at the Royal Albert Hall's show.
Famous score
For many fans of the original ballet, a highlight of the production of Swan Lake on Ice at Royal Albert Hall is bound to be the live orchestral performance of Tchaikovsky's beautiful score, first composed in the 1870s. Swan Lake tells the tragically romantic story of Odette, an enchanted princess who has been transformed into a swan by an evil sorcerer, and can only regain her human form during the night.
Landmark production
The production marks only the fourth time in its 140 year history that the Royal Albert Hall's arena floor has been transformed into an ice rink. The stage is comprised of around 14 tonnes of ice, with over ten miles of pipework maintaining a temperature of -15°C.
Swan Lake on Ice at Royal Albert Hall takes place from Friday 18th May - Sunday 20th May 2012. Tickets cost £17.50 - £60.00. For more information and to book tickets for this event, click on the Buy Tickets button.
