Holst: The Planets

A spectacular ice fantasia featuring the world skating champions, Paul and Isabelle Duchesnay, and former world champion, Brian Orser. Set to the music of the symphonic masterpiece by Gustav Holst, this dazzling production incorporates solo and ensemble ice dance, precision group skating and synchronized swimming. The setting is Mount Olympus with a starry firmament all around, and the elaborate ice and dance show an entertainment for gods. “Spectacular…in its beauty, grace and adoration of the pure flame of imagination…a sublimely elegant celebration of visual, aural and bodily splendour…” (Broadcast Week)
