The Imperial Ice Stars return to Hall for Cornwall with their new production Swan Lake On Ice in February and March.

The stunning show is performed to Tchaikovsky's glorious music by 25 world, European and national championship skaters, who between them have won more than 200 medals, including ITV's Dancing On Ice sensation Olga Sharutenko.

The company's previous production Sleeping Beauty on Ice played to over 500,000 people worldwide and toured in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, UK, Germany, Spain, Holland, South Africa, Belgium and Russia.

Swan Lake On Ice has been choreographed by the world's leading Russian choreographers, some of whom coached the Olympic competitors in the Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. Some of the skating moves used in the extravaganza have never been seen in the world before - not even at the recent Winter Olympics.

Most of the daring moves performed in the show would normally be performed in an arena of approximately 60m x 60m. The stage the performers skate on in the theatre is only 15m x 15m.

The huge production sees 49 people on tour including performers, technicians and a doctor. There are over 110 costumes in the production. The performers rehearsed nine hours a day, six days a week, for eight weeks to pull the show together.

Fourteen tonnes of ice are used in the production, and 15 kilometres of pipe were used in the refrigeration. The ice machines use the same amount of electricity as it would take to run 45 single-bar radiators. The ice reaches temperatures of minus15 degrees C, three times colder than a household.

Performances start at 7.30pm from Tuesday, February 27, to Saturday, March 3, plus matinees on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 3pm. Tickets are £15.75 (RV) to £28.75, plus a 75p Theatre Fund payment on each ticket sold. Concessions are available on selected performances. For further details, call the Box Office on 01872 262466.
