Holiday on Ice - HORIZONS at Halle Tony Garnier

At Halle Tony Garnier, we are preparing our arena to become a shimmering stage for Holiday on Ice - HORIZONS, welcoming audiences in Lyon to a spectacular celebration of athletic grace and theatrical imagination. From our vantage point as host, the magic begins long before the first blades touch the ice: our teams oversee the transformation of the floor into a pristine rink, refine sightlines across our vast seating bowl, and tune the lighting so every edge, spin, and lift radiates through the hall. HORIZONS brings the distinctive Holiday on Ice blend of storytelling and high-performance skating, mixing contemporary choreography with classic figure-skating technique in a family-friendly show that invites all generations to share the wonder. Our venue’s scale and acoustics are ideally suited to carry its cinematic soundtrack and intricate visual design, while the generous stage footprint allows the ensemble to sweep across the ice in dynamic formations. We are thrilled to welcome this renowned production back to Lyon, offering a grand, festive experience that feels intimate from every seat.

Inside the creation: artistry and innovation meet the ice

As a company, Holiday on Ice continues to evolve its artistic language, and HORIZONS exemplifies that forward motion with fresh choreography, immersive staging, and storytelling that travels across cultures and ideas. From our stage, audiences will notice how the production blends ensemble patterns with intimate duets and solo spotlights, balancing breathtaking speed with lyrical detail. The creative team shapes each scene through lighting architecture, projection textures, and bold costume palettes that shift the atmosphere moment to moment—one sequence might evoke soaring escape and discovery, while the next turns introspective and dreamlike. True to the company’s legacy, the skating vocabulary ranges from precision footwork and daring adagio lifts to playful theatrical passages that invite applause and participation. For us as hosts, that means supporting an intricate interplay of light, color, and sound so the transitions glide seamlessly and the visual poetry of HORIZONS lands with full dramatic impact. The result is a production that feels current and ambitious while honoring the heritage that made Holiday on Ice an international favorite.

Welcoming HORIZONS to Halle Tony Garnier also means curating an experience that extends beyond the performance itself. Our wide concourses and clear wayfinding make family visits smooth from arrival to encore, while our technical infrastructure ensures the ice remains impeccable throughout the show—consistent, fast, and safe for the athletes who trust it with every landing. We love watching first-time visitors discover how an arena can transform into a theatrical canvas, with panoramic views that reveal the sweep of the ensemble and close-up moments that highlight edge control, timing, and expressive detail. For longtime fans, HORIZONS offers fresh creative signatures—new musical motifs, inventive scenic transitions, and choreography that pushes the ensemble’s precision—delivered with the polish and warmth audiences expect from Holiday on Ice. As the lights go down and the first notes surge across our hall, we take pride in providing a stage where ambition meets craftsmanship, and where Lyon can gather to share the thrill of a world-class ice spectacle brought vividly to life.
