The Nutcracker

Christmas ice show

About

Show "The Nutcracker" performed by the music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky by the Mariinsky Theater Orchestra, Evgeni Plushenko and the stars of the world figure skating.
Acrobatic stunts on ice and in the air, 200 sq meters of projection surfaces, 400 TB of unique 3D content, 32 high-speed projection roll-ups surrounding the perimeter of the ice.
Setup
The resolution and speed of the image is much higher than in traditional methods of frame-by-frame visualisation. Transparent meshes used around the perimeter of the stage, allowed us to build voluminous scenic spaces. In addition to skaters, three-dimensional animated characters were involved. The content interacts with skaters, thus creating magical effects of transformation, enhancing and emphasizing the actions of skaters.
