Although the big top is down and the performers have moved on to Dunedin, pleasant memories remain for those who were among the thousands who attended performances of The Great Moscow Circus on Ice while it was in Christchurch. TOP LEFT: One of the Russian dancers on ice. TOP RIGHT: A skating chimpanzee waits for instructions from its trainer, Evgeni Baranok. BOTTOM LEFT: The ice clowns
provide a musical interlude. BOTTOM RIGHT: Another ice dance routine. The ice circus, with more than 70 artists, has been on tour since leaving Moscow on December 23. It opened in Dunedin yesterday and will make its final performance in New Zealand on Sunday before moving on to Australia. Pictures by DAVID CHARTERIS and JULIANNE MYERS?
