“Corteo”, Cirque du Soleil’s most magical show, returns to Europe and will be presented to audiences in Prague for the first time. Since its inception, the show has captivated more than ten million spectators in twenty countries on four continents. Therefore, Cirque du Soleil will return to Prague, where this year it successfully staged eight “OVO” shows to tens of thousands of spectators! Tickets will go on sale starting from CZK 1,490 in the Ticketmaster and Ticketportal networks from 10:00 a.m. Pre-sales at Live Nation and Cirque clubs will start earlier.

“Corteo” will be performed at the O2 Arena in seven shows from 25 to 29 September 2024. The individual show times are as follows: Wednesday 25 September 2024 at 8pm.
Thursday, September 26, 2024 at 8:00 p.m.
Friday, September 27, 2024 at 8:00 p.m.
Saturday, September 28, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
Sunday, September 29, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. “Corteo”, from the Italian cortege, is a lively and festive procession in the imagination of a clown. The show combines the passion of an actor with the grace and strength of an acrobat to immerse the audience in a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity, located in a mysterious space between heaven and earth. The clown imagines his own funeral, which takes place in a carnival atmosphere and is watched over by angels who care for him in peace. Juxtaposing the great with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic, and the magic of perfection with the grace of imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the part of humanity that is in each of us. Accompanied by lyrical and cheerful music, “Corteo” will be a timeless celebration where illusion penetrates reality. In Cirque du Soleil’s first show, the arena stage was in the middle, dividing the stage in two, providing a unique perspective and atmosphere that Cirque du Soleil had never seen before in an arena show. The Eiffel Tower-inspired backdrop and hand-painted center curtain gave the stage a grand atmosphere. This set the poetic tone of the “Corteo” show.
