Another article on the ice show in Yalta that took place on June 26th, this one with a comment from Alexei:

However, a highlight of the show was the Olympic figure skating champion Alexei Yagudin, who performed solo numbers.
Alexei Yagudin admitted to journalists that when he received an invitation to the show, it took him for a draw (?). But after learning that the rink in Yalta was natural ice, the figure skater agreed.

The articles seem to say that the show will be every Friday (and Sundays?), but I don't think they will have the same cast. I think it will be a little bit like Sun Valley, where they probably have a main cast that performs every week, and then various guest headliners will drop in. I'm guessing Alexei was just there for the opening, but, we'll see...

Well, what's the differences between the natural ice and artificial ice?
) or made with a softer set up, which figure skaters tend to prefer. For temporary ice sets ups where the rink is not
going to be permanent, some companies like to use artificial ice (a type of plastic, I think) because it's either easier to set up or less expensive, but I
don't think skaters like it much.
