Opera on Ice - Arena di Verona

October 2013

On 28 September, in the fantastic atmosphere of the Verona Arena, an unusual ice spectacle took place: the third edition of Opera On Ice, which saw the biggest stars from the world of figure skating appearing complete with orchestra and choir at the Arena di Verona. World-renowned singers sang works from the arena’s most famous operas. This year the program featured pieces from the 2014 opera season, including the Carmina Burana from Orff and the famous Ave Maria from Schubert. Some 15,000 spectators cheered on world-famous skaters who included world champion and four times European champion Carolina Kostner, endorsing the event, Russian Olympic victor and several-times world and European champion Evgeni Plushenko, Shizuka Arakawa, Stephane Lambiel, Meagan Duhamel & Eric Radford and many others.

This year as in 2011 and 2012, OperaOnIce was able to rely on the perfect ice surface provided by Icefantasy.
