Over the years, a whole generation of new artists has grown up. Skill level and creative determination remain the main qualities and ensure the high professional level of our skaters.

The Color Ice theater was founded in 2001. The troupe went on its first tour to South Korea that same year with the show The Magic of Dance. The production ran for three months to sold-out audiences.

Hard work on new performances continued until February 2003, when the Color Ice troupe left for an extended tour of China. The troupe worked simultaneously on the complex and beautiful show In Search of Love, created together with Chinese specialists, and staged two more performances: the divertissement Dance Through the Centuries and the winter fairy tale miniature Twelve Months. They premiered in China.

Upon returning to Russia, work began on a large project prepared for performance in Moscow. Approximately 50 artists on ice were involved in the ice show entitled The Magic Rainbow. About 150 costumes were sewn and unique installations were created for the production. In addition, a contemporary dance troupe participated in the show. The show ran in Moscow from December 2005 to January 2006.

In 2006, the Color Ice ice theater joined the Ice Symphony company, becoming one of its projects.
The ballet troupe has participated in many Ice Symphony projects, including the TV project Stars on Ice, two Stars on Ice gala concerts, ice shows on Red Square, the anniversary show dedicated to the 60th birthday of Tatiana Tarasova, and the world tour of Ilya Averbukh’s ice show Stars on Ice.

In the 2007-2008 season, two miniature performances were staged: the children’s ice fairy tale Thumbelina and the romantic ice show The Town, based on George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion.

In the 2008-2009 season, the ice show troupe had about 60 skaters. During that season, the troupe gave more than 50 performances in cities across Russia. This year, cities such as Krasnodar, Samara, Saratov, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, and Moscow saw the New Year’s fairy tale “While the Clock Strikes 12” (directed by Ilya Averbukh).

In the 2009-2010 season, a new New Year’s fairy tale, “New Year’s Adventures in Fairy-Tale Ice Land” (directed by Ilya Averbukh), was created. This performance successfully combined figure skating and elements of circus acrobatics, while the captivating plot, bright costumes, and scenery allowed the audience to fully enjoy the artists’ mastery. This performance was shown in cities such as Yekaterinburg, Perm, Nizhny Tagil, Saratov, Samara, Orenburg, Ufa, and Chelyabinsk.

In 2010, the Color Ice ice theater separated from the Ice Symphony company, becoming an independent troupe once again.

Its first major project was the New Year’s ice show Twelve Months, based on the fairy tale by S. Marshak. This show remains in the theater’s repertoire to this day, having won the well-deserved love of audiences. Throughout its history, it has been applauded in Moscow, Stupino, Mytishchi, Klin, Podolsk, Kazan, Samara, Saratov, Penza, Balakovo, Nizhny Novgorod, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Pyatigorsk, Kirov, Magadan, and other Russian cities. The show has also been successfully staged in cities in Belarus and Slovakia.

Since 2011, the repertoire has been expanded with a large divertissement, comprising more than 30 concert numbers and short scenes. A new project has also been prepared: in collaboration with the Aquamarine dancing fountain circus, a circus-variety show on ice called “The Shining World” has been created. From July, 2011, to October, 2012, Color Ice regularly performed in Moscow as part of the “The Shining World” show by the Aquamarine dancing fountain circus, giving a total of more than 300 performances.

In 2012, the New Year’s fairy tale Morozko was staged, its premiere was opened by the real Santa Claus from Veliky Ustyug! And the children’s fairy tale Thumbelina was given a new life in a full-length version.

In 2013, the play Christmas Stories was staged, which immediately won the hearts of many Russian cities and surpassed the play “Twelve Months” in terms of the number of performances.

In 2015, the New Year’s play “Mission to Save Santa Claus” was created.

In 2016, the troupe resumed its collaboration with the Aquamarine Circus, regularly participating in performances and New Year’s shows.

In 2019, the theater’s repertoire was expanded with the performances of Swan Lake, which premiered in Bishkek, and The Nutcracker.

In 2021, the theater celebrated its 20th anniversary and began performing under the name “Russian Theater on Ice.”
