A wonderful installation with a central ice rink of about 800 square meters, orchestra, choir and live singers, all within the temple of Italian sport: the Centrale court inside the Foro Italico.

Many surprises are planned, including a spectacular tribute to the historic location, home of CONI, in view of the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games 2026.

A blockbuster opening designed for the occasion: the whole cast will descend on the track for a tribute to the recently deceased maestro Franco Zeffirelli, celebrated also with precious ones stage costumes worn by skaters for the 'Brindisi della Traviata' by Verdi and other pieces. Among the stars to perform were Evgeni Plushenko, the Japanese world champion Miki Ando, the dance blues Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte, and the artistic couple Nicole Della Monica and Matteo Guarise.
