Shivers and goosebumps. Have you heard? Cirque du Soleil is coming to London ONTARIO and trust me when I tell you this is a show you do not want to miss! Read on for all the details on this incredible event, where you can get tickets and, enter for the chance to WIN a VIP Backstage Tour and Tickets to the show!
Introducing Corteo. Cirque du Soleil’s latest amazing arena production. The dazzling event will be presented at London’s Budweiser Gardens from June 13 to 16, 2019, for a limited run of only six performances.
What is Corteo? It means cortege in Italian, a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. Mauro, the Dreamer Clown, is the central character who imagines his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels. However, instead of mourning, the funeral cortege celebrates the here and hereafter with laughter and exuberance, juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic, and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection. Corteo is said to be a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality. Oh my goodness, I can’t wait!
I’ve had the pleasure of attending a Cirque du Soleil show in the past and promise this kind of event is one you won’t soon forget. This time, the stage brings the audience into a theatrical atmosphere like never seen before in Cirque du Soleil arena shows. The set curtains, inspired by the Eiffel Tower, and the central curtains, which were hand painted, give a grandiose feel to the stage. This will set the tone for the poetry of Corteo.
The large cast of Corteo includes 51 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors from all around the world. It promises to be pure magic. Tickets are on sale now and are available for purchase by visiting: https://www.cirquedusoleil.com/corteo

The back stage tour must have been extremely interesting, I’ve never done anything like that.
