「來時我孤單一人，去時亦孑然一身。」在鮮花盛開的季節，旅人與一名女孩墜入愛河，並希望能終成眷屬，但現在卻只剩孤獨，要在冷寂的冬夜裡離開這遍傷心地。他在杳無人煙的雪地上尋找去路，離去前，在愛人的門上寫上「晚安」。
《冬之旅》是德國作曲家舒伯特（1797-1828）登峰造極的一套聯篇歌曲，二十四首藝術歌曲以德國詩人穆勒（1794-1827）的詩詞入樂，歌詞描寫遊子在孤寂旅途上扣問生命意義的歷程；與刻下我們因疫情關係無奈與外界隔絕，獨自面對種種未知的情況不無共鳴。是次《冰上〈冬之旅〉》抽取其中七首歌曲，配合音樂、花式溜冰及互動投影技術，製作一系列七集的全新音樂影曲片，希望為觀眾帶來豐富的多媒體藝術賞識體驗。

Synopsis: "A stranger I arrived; a stranger I depart." In May, the traveler won the love of a girl and hoped to marry her. But now love is gone and he must leave, in winter and in the dead of night, finding his own way in the trackless snow. He writes "Good Night" on his lover's gate as he passes, to show that he thought of her.
Schubert (1797-1828)'s "Winterreise", hailed as one of the jewels in the genre of lieder, is set to the 24 poems by German poet Wilhelm Müller (1794-1827). The loner who is trying to find meaning in life on a psychological journey in "Winterreise" forms an uncanny parallel imagery between those isolated by social distancing while coping with uncertainties amidst the epidemic at present. In "Winterreise on Ice", seven songs are selected to form a mini cycle of seven music videos. Combined with music performance, figure skating and projection mapping, we hope to create an exquisite and multi-media "Winterreise" experience for the audience.
