This year's special touch is provided by Francisco Negrin, renowned for his bold, avant-garde opera stagings. With Aurore, Negrin transports us to a world where a young woman explores the nuances of the human condition. Initially, Aurore comes from a world devoid of color and joy. Sent to Earth, she discovers what makes humans unique thanks to Adam, who introduces her to love and the beauties of our world.

This new creation is not lacking in innovation. The 40 skaters on the team seem to defy gravity, skilfully blending the elements of ice, air, fire and light. The show offers a 360° experience, bathed in unprecedented special effects, taking spectators on a journey of initiation.

In conclusion, Holiday On Ice is preparing to offer Parisians and visitors from elsewhere a memorable show in 2024 with Aurore at the Dôme de Paris. A unique opportunity to celebrate the heritage and future of this illustrious ice show.
