VIP Backstage Tour & Ticket Giveaway! Corteo – Cirque du Soleil

in Lifestyle on

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

    2. My birthday is on June 14th, so the timing is pretty perfect! I would take my mom. I did competitive gymnastics for 10 years and I wouldn’t have been able to do that without her. I have always dreamed of joining Cirque du Soliel, but seeing this performance would be amazing.

    3. This would be a dream opportunity, and would snap our hearts out. I would take my hubby.

    4. If I won I’d love to to take my mom, she’s my best friend and well she’s been dealing with cancer so think she could use good news and get a good night out

      • It’s going to be an amazing show! Make sure you come back and answer the mandatory question so I can enter you in the contest for tickets 🙂

    7. my hubby, Brad. He has never been and i was thinking of surprising him with tickets.

    8. If I won I would take my friend Barb. She absolutely loves watching lives shows and Cirque du Soleil is one of her favorites.

    9. I just mentioned this giveaway to my boyfriend, and he pushed me to enter – he would love to see Cirque for the first time!

    10. Oh my gosh! I haven’t been to a Cirque show in about 15 years. I’ve always wanted to go to another!!

    13. I would take my wife as she loved Cirque when we went some time back – and it is soon after her birthday!

    14. If I win, I’m bringing my wife! We’ve seen Cirque du Soleil a few times now and every time have gotten nothing but joy from the experience. Going to this show–especially with the backstage opportunity–would top it all!

    15. Hi I would take my best friend because she moved out of town a year ago and we don’t get to see each other often. I miss her and this would be an incredible experience to share with her. Thank you
