Our team has crafted a high-quality production featuring both local and international figure skating professionals. The ice show ‘Thumbelina’ is a story of courage, love, and adventure – emotions that every audience member will feel. It’s no wonder that generations worldwide have grown up with this fairy tale”.

The show promises to be visually stunning, with excellent musical accompaniment, vibrant costumes and lighting, and various special effects. The audience can expect breathtaking acrobatic elements that will enhance Thumbelina’s adventurous journey from the world of a small, fragile girl to triumph over life’s challenges.

In the show, Thumbelina’s adventures will be brought to life on the ice by professional, talented, and brilliant figure skaters, including world and European championship laureates and Winter Olympic participants:
