Cirque du Soleil celebrates the musical legacy of The Beatles through their timeless, original recordings.  Drawn from the poetry of the lyrics, the show explores the content of the songs as interpreted by innovative performances from a cast of 60 international artists.  A youthful, raw energy is channeled through aerial performance, extreme sports and urban freestyle dance.Cirque du Soleil is an unprecedented theatrical event. A masterpiece in storytelling, KÀ uses acrobatic performances, the thrills and action of martial arts techniques from all over the world, plus innovations in puppetry and multimedia to tell the epic tale of twins on a perilous journey to fulfill their shared destiny.

Mystère by Cirque du Soliel is a dynamic kaleidoscope of sights and sounds performed in a state of the art theatre. The international cast of 72 featured dancers, singers, musicians, champion-caliber acrobats and a sole misguided clown. The production credited with changing the face of Las Vegas entertainment has been honored eight times as “Las Vegas’ Best Production Show.”

Unlike recent Cirque productions, Zumanity makes no attempt at a storyline. In true cabaret style, each act stands alone, the only connecting factor being the emcee’s narrative songs and jokes. But the elements still come together smoothly, transitions eased by music and subtle set changes. Despite the warm, sensual atmosphere, Zumanity still features dazzling displays of human capabilities stretched to their limits.

Cirque du Soleil weaves an aquatic tapestry of artistry, surrealism and theatrical romance in the timeless production, “O.”  Inspired by the concept of infinity and the elegance of water’s pure form, “O” pays tribute to the beauty of the theatre - from the simplest street performance to the most lavish of operas - where anything is possible and where the drama of life plays itself out before our very eyes. World-class acrobats, synchronized swimmers, divers and characters perform in, on, and above water to create a breathtaking experience.

KÀ, the unprecedented, gravity-defying production by Cirque du Soleil takes adventure to an all new level. KÀ is a heroic journey of love and conflict, set within a dynamic theatrical landscape, as an entire empire appears on KÀ’s colossal stage and a captivating display of acrobatics envelops the audience.

The Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas shows are not all like the ones you may have seen on tour or on television. Each creation is new, unique and different. There are similarities, to be sure. You’ll recognize the attention to beauty, detail and customer comfort, but Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas shows can design theaters specially for each show, creating unique staging and a special environment that starts the moment you enter the doors.

Le Grand Tour du Cirque du Soleil

Originally intended to only be a one-year project, Cirque du Soleil was scheduled to perform in eleven towns in Quebec over the course of thirteen weeks running concurrent with the third La Fate Foraine. The first shows were riddled with difficulty, starting with the collapse of the big top after the increased weight of rainwater cause the central mast to snap. Working with a borrowed tent, Laliberté then had to contend with difficulties with the European performers who were so unhappy with the Quebec circus’ inexperience, that they had at one point sent a letter to the media complaining about how they were being treated.
