OPERA ON ICE 2012

Applause, encores, and standing ovation for Opera on Ice

Verona, September 22, 2012 - The magic of Opera on Ice returns to the Arena of Verona, once again selling out. The 12,000 spectators watched the performances of the great champions on ice, who captivated the audience and granted three encores.

The long lines at the entrances from early afternoon, something not seen since the golden days of opera in the Arena, are a testament to Opera on Ice’s success in bringing young people closer to opera through figure skating.

The evening featured the world's top skaters, including Carolina Kostner, Stéphane Lambiel, Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte, Evgeni Plushenko, and Shizuka Arakawa, alongside emerging opera talents, accompanied by the more than 200 members of the Arena di Verona chorus and orchestra, conducted by Maestro Fabio Mastrangelo.
