The newly upgraded
Durban Ice Arena will be the stage for a spectacular ice show which comes to
the city on November 21 and 22.
Direct from Moscow,
Russia, Shine on Ice Dance Theatre
combines master figure-skating as well as the skills of acrobats, jugglers,
clowns and ice ballet dancers.
A 20-month upgrade
has given Durban a world-class ice arena – which is four times the size of the
old ice rink – and boasts new seating, flooring, lighting, sound and a balcony
café.
“This project was
certainly not a simple undertaking as we renovated a landmark with such
historic value,” said owner Sastri Ramiah. “Our vision was to create a truly
multi-purpose international arena that will cater to our local and
international ice-skating fraternity, but also offer a venue that can be
transformed for mixed used events, adding to the overall offering of Durban as
a whole.”
Created in Moscow
in 2004, Shine on Ice puts the spotlight
on Russia’s talented figure-skaters, most of whom have won international
competitions. Having toured Europe, Latin America, Canada and the United Arab
Emirates, this will be the troupe’s first performance in South Africa.
Billed as
“colourful, creative, original and spellbinding”, Shine on Ice is presented by impresario Edouard Miasnikov, who has
brought a wealth of Russian ballet and music to Durban. Miasnikov adds: “Shine on Ice is fantastic entertainment
for the whole family with the performers bound to leave a lasting impression of
their dazzling skills."
Shine on Ice will take place at the newly upgraded
Durban Ice Arena with performances ae on November 21 and 22 at 12h00, 15h00 and
18h00. Tickets priced from R200 to R300 booked through Computicket.
