World-famous circus company Cirque du Soleil has announced it will be returning to Aotearoa next year to debut its acrobatic performance on ice.
Crystal, a "one-of-a-kind production", will feature seven circus acts - all performed on ice - as well as extreme skating and figure skating.
The tour will commence at Christchurch Arena in June and finish at Auckland's Spark Arena in July.
Crystal artistic director Robert Tannion said the show is full of "firsts" for the company.
"It has really helped shift our perspective on the interesting ways that the circus arts continue to evolve," Tannion said.
"The performance itself is all about perspective – how we see ourselves is a direct reflection of how we see the world. It’s a magical story that springs to life on the ice and we can’t wait to bring it to New Zealand in 2023."
The all-ages show was created in 2017 and has since toured in more than 115 cities in 12 different countries.
General tickets will be available from Wednesday 16 November.
