One of the world’s most beloved ballets, The Nutcracker , returns with a new spin and a fresh twist, as the Imperial Ice Stars bring their brilliance to Bangkok.

Featuring a timeless score by Tchaikovsky, this ballet on ice unfolds on Christmas Eve. When a little girl’s doll comes to life, it’s the start of a great adventure, rich in romance, with stirring songs and dances from Spain, China and Arabia.

More than 20-strong casts of Olympic, World, European and National Championship skaters, the Imperial Ice Stars have taken their productions around the world. After notable successes with their versions of Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Swan Lake, the Nutcracker is the icing on the cake.

“The art form of ice dance lends itself beautifully to this well-loved tale. Not only does the story entail some beautiful romantic ‘adagios’ with lifts and jumps, but the exotic ‘divertissements’ from Spain, China, Arabia, Russia and Egypt allow us to introduce some gymnastics, flying, acrobatics, fire and magic.” (Tony Mercer)
