Cirque du Soleil: Corteo @ The Royal Albert Hall (until 02 March)

To celebrate 40 years of dreaming the impossible, Cirque du Soleil return to the Royal Albert Hall in January 2025, with their most joyous and jubilant show, CORTEO. With unique staging, creating an intimate and immersive experience, CORTEO will present Cirque du Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall in a never seen before configuration. With countless feats of jaw-dropping acrobatics including aerial acts swinging from Chandeliers and floating over the audience, CORTEO is a timeless celebration in which mesmerising stunts will make you question where illusion ends and reality begins. Somewhere between heaven and earth, Mauro, a clown is dreaming. Watched on by angels, Mauro dreams of a carnival where a parade of revelers are celebrating his life. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the audience are plunged into a theatrically thrilling world celebrating Cirque du Soleil at its best. Beautifully poetic, CORTEO highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, so as to illustrate the humanity within each of us. Corteo is a spectacle suitable for all ages; rejoice in this majestic, awe-inspiring show thats been seen by over 10 million people and will perform at Londons iconic Royal Albert Hall. Corteo by Cirque du Soleil where everything starts with a dream and seeing is believing.
