The international ice dance sensation The Imperial Ice Stars make a triumphant return to Australia with a dazzling new production of The Nutcracker on Ice touring nationally from 6 June to 12 August 2012.

Over the last eight years, The Imperial Ice Stars have performed to almost four million people across five continents, at some of the world’s most prestigious venues – London’s Royal Albert Hall and Sadler’s Wells, Singapore’s new Marina Bay Sands casino and theatre complex, Montreal’s Place des Arts and Moscow’s Red Square.

This award-winning troupe comes to Australia direct from a performance in May of Swan Lake on Ice at the Royal Albert Hall, and a best-ever sell-out tour of The Nutcracker on Ice in South Africa earlier this year.

The Imperial Ice Stars have built a worldwide following and established an unrivalled reputation for their sophisticated portrayals of classic works, and for executing the most complex and daring manoeuvres on the ice.
 
For their latest production, acclaimed Artistic Director Tony Mercer – the world’s leading creator of contemporary theatre-on-ice – has once again teamed with four-time figure skating World Champion and dual Olympic gold medallist Evgeny Platov, and dual World Champion Maxim Staviski to create choreography that further raises the bar, with ever more breathtaking high-speed leaps and throws, and awe-inspiring acrobatics, coupled with the most graceful and sublime ice dancing.

To Tchaikovsky’s memorable score, the 26-strong cast of Olympic, World, European and National Championship skaters will astound and mesmerise audiences with their adrenaline-rich, dramatic performance, in the intimate setting of a frozen theatre stage.

The Nutcracker on Ice will thrill and enchant all ages.
