Cirque Du Soleil Presents New ALEGRIA Arena Tour 8/26 Thru 8/30

By:

Cirque du Soleil has announced that the new Alegria Arena Tour will stop in Boston this Summer. Alegria will perform 8 shows at the Agganis Arena from August 26 to 30, 2009.

Advance tickets for Alegria are now available online to Cirque Club members and to the general public on the Cirque du Soleil website or by phone. To purchase tickets, go to www.cirquedusoleil.com/alegria or call 1-800-745-3000.

Alegria is a Cirque du Soleil classic and an internationally acclaimed production that has entertained more than 10 million people worlwide since its world premiere in Montreal in April 1994. In May 2009, Alegria embarked on a new journey, performing in arenas throughout Canada and the United States, giving more people than ever the opportunity to enjoy a Cirque du Soleil show in their own town.

Alegria is a Spanish word that means happiness, joy and jubilation. An operatic introspection of the struggle for power and the invigorating energy of youth, Alegria relates the tale of power versus weakness, the king versus his jesters, and age against youth.

Alegria features an international cast of 55 performers and musicians from 17 countries and showcases breathtaking acrobatics. Acts include the Synchro Trapeze and the high-speed, high-energy Aerial High Bars in which daring aerialists fly to catchers swinging more than 40 feet above the stage. The vibrancy of youth is alive in Power Track, a brilliant display of synchronized choreography and tumbling on a trampoline system hidden under the stage floor. In Russian Bars, artists fly through the air and perform spectacular somersaults and mid-air turns, landing on bars perched on the sturdy shoulders of catchers.

Cirque Club (www.cirqueclub.com) membership is free and benefits includes access to advance tickets, special offers and exclusive behind the scenes inforrmation.

Adults: From $45 to $95. Children (12 & under): From $36 to $76.

Show Schedule (August 26-30): Wednesday and Thursday at 8:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday at 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Sunday at 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
