Witness the high-flying show, which has been seen by over 11 million people worldwide in 22 countries and four continents since its 2005 premiere in Montreal. As the 2023 Broadway World review said of the show, "Corteo looks beautiful and has a dreamlike quality consistent with their other productions…This is a great show for families and lovers of the resurging circus arts displayed with great skill."
Cirque du Soleil Corteo is a circus show that expertly balances awe-inspiring stunts and acrobatics alongside a wonderful story about the clown Mauro envisioning his very carnival-like funeral. The title Corteo comes from the Italian word 'cortège,' which means procession. This refers to Mauro imagining a parade as part of his circus funeral.

More information about Cirque du Soleil - Corteo
Cirque du Soleil Corteo in London is written and directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca (Cirque du Soleil Luzia). Philippe Leduc and Maria Bonzanigo composed the show's score, with Jean-François Côté and Michel A. Smith reworking several of the pieces.
In addition to reconfiguring the Royal Albert Hall stage for this show, this is also the heaviest show Cirque du Soleil has brought to the Royal Albert Hall, suspending 67 tonnes from the grid.
Director of Programming for the Royal Albert Hall, Matt Todd, said, "This is our 29th year welcoming Cirque du Soleil to the Royal Albert Hall, and this is the first time that we have been able to reconfigure the Hall like this, dramatically and uniquely changing the whole perspective within the auditorium. It is wonderful for the Hall to be used in this way and will without doubt be one of Cirque du Soleil's most extraordinary performances."
