Theatre: Cinderella On Ice

February 3, 2009

The production boasts one of the most expensive sets ever created for a theatrical ice show, anywhere in the world, from one of Australia’s top scenic designers, Eamon D’Arcy. It incorporates stunning three-dimensional scenery depicting a Siberian village square and a black and silver art deco theatre, magical special effects, including fire and rain; flying and state of the art projection.

There are 77 opulent costumes from Albina Gabueva, head designer at Moscow’s famed Stanislavsky Theatre, each of which are individual designs, made by the famous Bolshoi Ballet’s costume cutters. Ten of the costumes cost more than £4000 each with their luxurious fabric and fine detailing.

In this new interpretation of a classic tale, The Imperial Ice Stars tell the story of Cinderella, a humble chorus dancer who is thrust into the spotlight as a prima ballerina and captivates the handsome Lord Mayor’s son, the most eligible bachelor in town, with her graceful performance. Despite rival attempts by her stepsisters to steal his heart, the kindly Watchmakers and Gypsy Fortune Teller ensure that true love triumphs.

Artistic Director Tony Mercer says “The ‘Cinderella’ story has been told in many different cultures over many centuries. I wanted to give our version a new setting while retaining the ingredients and emotions of this timeless story.”

Enter a world of magic and dazzling skating brilliance; Cinderella on ice is an unforgettable experience, guaranteed to take your breath away!
