I always love it when Cirque Du Soleil brings a new production to South Florida and this summer from July 24 through August 4th they will be presenting Corteo at the BB&T Center Arena.

Corteo, which means cortege in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth.

The cast of Corteo includes 52 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors from all around the world.

My friends are always complaining they can’t get good seats to Cirque show,  and that’s why I am writing about this now as tickets are available at cirquedusoleil.com/corteo. Cirque Club membership is free and benefits includes access to advance tickets, special offers and exclusive behind the scenes information. To join, go to www.cirqueclub.com.
