HOLIDAY ON ICE with the new show HORIZONS
HOLIDAY ON ICE enters the next round with the brand new show 24/25 - after the breathtaking anniversary, anticipation is already building for what comes next.
HORIZONS - Off to new horizons with Holiday on Ice!
The magic continues: With the spectacular show HORIZONS, a new chapter of HOLIDAY ON ICE, the most successful ice show in the world, begins this year. After the magnificent 80th anniversary, the next highlight now follows. Under the motto "Feel the City Beat!", HORIZONS captivates the audience with the energy, movement and sound of a pulsating metropolis. The new show tells of the diversity and fascination of a vibrant metropolis - and above all the people who make it what it is. It brings the unique urban spirit to life in an unforgettable live experience on ice. From 17 to 19 January 2025, HORIZONS will thrill audiences in Dortmund's Westfalenhalle.
HORIZONS brings the exciting atmosphere of the big city to life and invites the audience to discover it with all its fascinating places and people. The show is an invitation to explore the unique dynamics and diversity of urban life. In an impressive production of world-class figure skating and acrobatics, HORIZONS captures the energy, rhythms and urban vibe and takes the audience on an unforgettable journey through the multifaceted world of a vibrant metropolis. From the glamour of the city lights to the secret corners known only to its inhabitants, HORIZONS is a kaleidoscope of the city full of emotion and adventure. At the centre of the show are the people who bring the city to life. A wide variety of characters meet in different places and tell their captivating stories through music and movement. The audience experiences how these diverse personalities shape the city and transform it into a place full of magic. At the end of this exciting journey, everyone finds their place in this vibrant metropolis. HORIZONS thus becomes an unforgettable community experience for all generations.
"HOLIDAY ON ICE is so successful because we continue to captivate, touch and inspire people," explains CEO and producer Peter O'Keeffe. "The new season also impresses with plenty of magic, breathtaking costume worlds and superlative show elements. With HORIZONS, we are creating a new world on the ice - it is a tribute to the exciting atmosphere and diversity of the city that can be felt in every scene."
The new show HORIZONS combines the creative power of HOLIDAY ON ICE with top-class figure skating, breathtaking acrobatics and an innovative, technically sophisticated performance. The dynamic and free-moving stage set is constantly being transformed into new scenery and is actively utilised by the performers. At the same time, it allows the audience to visually immerse themselves in the various dimensions of the city. On the ice, the perspective expands from lively street scenes to the sheer endless expanses and horizons of glittering skyscrapers. Spectacular course interludes and the interaction of the figure skaters with the stage set ultimately merge all the elements into an impressive overall picture.
HORIZONS - THE CREATIVE TEAM
A renowned creative team is working on the realisation of the show and is doing everything in its power to amaze audiences once again this season. The idea for HORIZONS came from creative director Robin Cousins. He has already worked as choreographer and creative director for the successful HOLIDAY ON ICE shows SUPERNOVA and ATLANTIS in recent years. Robin Cousins, who celebrated great success as a figure skating legend and Olympic champion, has worked as a director and choreographer for various productions such as "The Wizard of Oz on Ice" and Andrew Lloyd-Webber's "Starlight Express on Ice". This time he will be supported by Mark Naylor, who is responsible for the choreography of the new show. Naylor was also involved in previous productions of HOLIDAY ON ICE and is now returning as choreographer for HORIZONS. The impressive costume design is in the hands of Michael Sharp, a renowned designer who has worked for stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, One Direction and Jessie J. Chris Moylan will be responsible for the extraordinary lighting concept as lighting designer, while the stage design will be created by the StuFish design team, which has already worked for Beyoncé, Madonna, Adele and the Coachella Festival.
