Russian Circus on Ice is visiting Bulgaria for the first time with the Winter Fairytale show at the Arena Armeetz Hall in Sofia. The show is a magic voyage on ice, combining unforgettable circus artistry with the highest possible ice skating skills. The imagination is captured with effective choreography, more than 300 beautiful costumes, thrilling music and complicated acrobatics. Jugglers, acrobats, jumpers, dancers and musicians take care of the audience’s good mood.




Снимка Manager of Russian Circus on Ice Rimma Wachsmann gives us more details, which you can hear in the audio file.

The remarkable global success of Russian Circus on Ice is due mainly to the complicated combination between figure skating and circus art. The Winter Fairytale show features favorite characters of the Nutcracker, the Ice Queen, Alice in Wonderland, the Sleeping beauty and Cinderella. All these stories interweave into a common plot – the large blue fairy bird invites the different characters from the stories to her birthday party. However, instead of bringing gifts to the fest, the invited sing and dance. The actors are to present their show across other 70 cities within their grand European tour this year.

Composer, clown, actor and musician Stepan Ryabov says about his expectations:

“I expect only good things about this show. The two peoples have lots in common and our languages are similar. The best thing is when the show is interactive with the participation of the audience. Relax and open your mind – you will be impressed. We are a mixture of sports, circus, skating, theatre and music. Yes, I am excited and I haven’t slept for a month.”


A total of 25 actors participate in the show. Their joint greetings to their Bulgarian fans are also featured in the audio file.
