Reminds me of the Rick Wakeman extravaganza'King Arthur on Ice'. A live performance of his 'The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table' album, accompanied by performers on an ice rink. Knights jousting, that sort of thing.
I can tell you, if I ever get a time machine, screw killing Hitler or witnessing the Crucifixion, I wanna go see 'King Arthur on Ice'.

There's a lovely story Wakeman tells about that.One of the scenes involved people having a battle. There was an even number of participants, and the climax involved everyone being killed in a kind of mutual stab. One evening, though, one of the fighters was off sick, which meant that there was one performer with noone to stab and noone to stab him.
He only realised this when he was surrounded by corpses. Flustered, he shrugged, and stabbed himself.
