Classical ice dancing extravaganza ‘Opera On Ice’ was filmed on location in the magical setting of Verona di Arena, Italy’s world famous Roman amphitheatre dating back to AD30. ‘Opera On Ice’ combines opera music with the acrobatic maneouvres of figure skating in one show. This beautiful and extraordinary venue has been transformed into an ice rink allowing some of the world’s best loved opera to be interpreted by the top names in ice-dancing, including the world No. 1 and ambassador to ‘Opera on Ice’, Italy’s Carolina Kostner, as well as Stephane Lambiel, the Swiss champion and multiple medal winner at European championships and Olympics since 2005. Other performers include China’s ice dance partners Qing Pang and Jian Tong, top Russian athletes Tatiana Totmianina and Maxim Marinn, Isabelle Delobel and Olivier Shoenfelder of France, Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte of Italy, Canadian Emanuel Sandhu and Italian synchronised skating team, Hot Shivers.

In a programme bursting with well-known opera favourites, the 200 piece orchestra - Coro e Orchestra dell’Arena di Verona - is conducted by the hugely accomplished and renowned Fabio Mastrangelo. In ‘Opera on Ice’ he leads the orchestra in an ensemble including Puccini’s Nessun Dorma, as well as the most familiar arias from Carmen, La Traviata, Tosca, Rigoletto and Romeo & Juliet.
