Scala-Eis-Revue was an Ice Show which traveled around Europe from 1951 until 1968 and after that with Charlie Buchmann as Manager until 1970 (Schneewitchen)

It was owned by Hanns Thelen (who died in 1968) and his son Horst Thelen, who was the technical director of the show. Also to the technical brains belonged Helmut Eckart who in 1956 left the show to join "Holiday on Ice". Heinz Klapproth was the administration manager for "Scala" for many years with Georges Sylvestre, Paul Felske and Heinz Koschka as assistence. Scala Eis-Revue also travelled behind the Iron Curtain, spending several months in the then German Democratic Republik and East-Berlin.

On its own the show went under the name of "Feerie de la Glace" to France from 1952 until 1968 nearly 6 month every year. There George Sylvestre was the man to organize the tour.
