The company has 23 former Olympic, World, European and National Championship-level skaters who will perform a contemporary interpretation of the classic story, to Tchaikovsky’s score at the WIN Entertainment Centre.
The athletes are said to do more than glide around gracefully, but add to the drama of the story with acrobatic, gymnastics and flying sequences on the ice.
The intricate costumes are also designed by costumier Albina Gabueva of Moscow’s Stanislavsky Theatre, and made by the Bolshoi Ballet’s famous costume cutters.
The show features exquisite, innovative choreography as well as powerful story-telling created by award-winning artistic director Tony Mercer.
The popular troupe last visited Australia in 2012 with Sleeping Beauty on Ice, while Swan Lake On Ice last visited in 2010.
The show will also have limited seasons in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
The show runs for about two hours with an interval in the middle. Tickets on sale May 4 – prices start at $69.90 plus booking fee.
