Carmen on Ice

Following a summer season at the Iceberg Skating Palace in Sochi, Carmen on Ice will be performed at SSE Arena, Wembley from 11 to 15 January 2017 as part of a worldwide tour.

The programme features more than 60 world Olympic and European championship skaters, ballet and flamenco dancers, circus performers, musicians and singers.

Performed on the ice, on the stage, in the air and through 3D projections, Carmen on Ice will be directed and choreographed by world champion skater Ilya Averbukh.

Based on Georges Bizet's score, composer Roman Ignatiev's Carmen on Ice gives a modern edge to the passionate tale of lust, seduction and betrayal.

Averbukh said, "I'm delighted to be returning to London next January and to the SSE Arena, Wembley. I wanted to push boundaries with this new production so I have brought together the very best in talent from skaters, musicians, acrobats and singers from across the world to create a brand new spectacle in Carmen on Ice."
