The birth of the first and so far only "Circus on Ice" in 1962 was a major international event. Its founder, Arnold Gregoryevich Arnold, was one of the most distinguished directors of the Soviet period. Having consolidated his experience working in music halls, circus, cinema, ballet and ballet on ice, he inspired his friends - the best choreographers, artists, composers, writers and teachers of the circus - with his new idea, and began his creative experiment in 1962. Two years of work by the production group, forty-seven artists debuted the first show of Circus on Ice on October 16, 1964. The crowd was amazed about the transformation of the usual genres of circus to skating techniques with surprising dynamics, presenting a very funny show with comedians and clowns
 
The first international tour went to Brussels in 1965 and was absolutely sensational!  Since this performance the art of circus on ice has gained worldwide recognition and has been occupying a place in the entertainment world.

Unfortunately A. Arnold worked with his first group for only 7 years and did not have the time to put into practice all his projects. But his followers further developed this new art class - the circus on ice.

Currently the group of the Moscow Circus on Ice continues to improve and enrich the art with new creative works based on the best traditions. The company is made up of over 60 artists and up to trained animals such as bears and monkeys on skates, can participate in their programs.

It was given its première at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg on Friday, December 18th, 1892. In Western countries, The Nutcracker has become perhaps the most popular of all ballets, mainly represented around Christmas.

In an old German town in the early nineteenth century on Christmas Eve, people prepare for the party. Among the guests invited to the Stalbaum´s house is a crazy old man, inventor of toys and a true friend of children, Drosselmeyer. The living room of the house is decorated for the holidays. Guests are arriving. Drosselmeyer arrives with gifts. Children come running in. They begin to play blind man's buff.

Jerez de la Frontera celebrates its wine harvest with the Jerez sherry festival which begins on the first Saturday of September every year. The event last for 3 weeks and is known locally as the Fiestas de Otoño, involving sherry, horses and flamenco.

Jerez is the cultural capital of wine since time immemorial. The benefits of their land and climate led to the birth of vine cultivation, which later become a first-class commercial element, the birth of the wine in the period of Indian trade. The mythology of the birth of the wine, the new cycle every September, the culture of Jerez de la Frontera around the land... Arguments that define the strength, temperance and nobility of its people.

During the festivities that are a homage to its history you can taste quality fino, manzanilla and other types of sherry in the old tavernas, watch the refined equestrian events, enjoy flamenco music and dance concerts, street performances and entertainment, lectures, international puppet shows and a procession that will be held in honour of the Virgen de la Merced.

One of the highlights is the blessing of the grapes at noon the first day. At the Catherdral on Plaza de la Incarnación, a basket of grapes is places inside a wooden press and, and to the sound of the music and singing of a choir, 4 strong men with special boots will begin the first pressing of the vintage. White doves are released from the Cathedral, with the tower bells ringing with glory.

Many cultural happenings to experience some unforgettable days in Jerez. Apart from the festival, Jerez has of course much more to offer.
