Cirque du Soleil: Corteo

The Spectacle of The Season

Swinging from the chandeliers. Adults bouncing on giant beds. And a sky dance to put you on cloud nine. This is just a taste of Corteo’s mischievous world between heaven and earth. Combining the acrobatics of Cirque du Soleil with a whimsical story from the mind of a clown, prepare to flit between fantasy and reality, comedy and tragedy, poetry and extraordinary motion.

Send in the clouds

The Royal Albert Hall transforms into a never-before-seen configuration to host this circus spectacular, with aerial feats and mesmerising stunts set to soar over the crowd. Mauro the Clown is dreaming, and the resulting reverie is a celebratory carnival watched over by angels. Illusion, dance and theatre combine in a stratospheric show that will charm all ages.

Heavenly hospitality

Extend the experience with an evening of glamourous dining before and during the show. Set the tone with Champagne on arrival, or indulge in whimsical cocktails and wines in the 1871 Bar, an eclectic treasure trove that will entertain before the performance starts. For elegant fine dining, book a spot at Coda by Éric Chavot, then return to your table during the interval for relaxed desserts and drinks.

Cirque du Soleil reverts to full nineteenth-century circus luxe, with harlequin outfits, stripey-tight-wearing tumblers and historical tricks galore.
