CIRQUE DU SOLEIL TO PRESENT ALEGRÍA IN CEDAR PARK
EIGHT PERFORMANCES ONLY IN THE AUSTIN AREA FROM FEBRUARY 17 – 21, 2010 AT THE CEDAR PARK EVENTS CENTER
Tickets Available Now for all Performances
Cirque du Soleil is pleased to announce that the critically-acclaimed production Alegría will perform in the Austin area at the Cedar Park Events Center from February 17 to 21, 2010 for eight performances only. Alegría previously performed in Austin under the Cirque du Soleil big top in 2003.
Tickets are available for all performances at www.cirquedusoleil.com/alegria or by calling 1-800-745-3000.
Alegría is a Cirque du Soleil classic and an internationally acclaimed production that has entertained more than 10 million people worldwide since its world premiere in Montreal in 1994. In May 2009, Alegría embarked on a new journey, performing the same mesmerizing production, but now in arenas throughout North America, giving more people the opportunity to enjoy a Cirque du Soleil show in their own town.
The Show
Alegría is a Spanish word that means happiness, joy and jubilation and features an international cast of 55 performers and musicians from 17 countries and showcases breathtaking acrobatics. Acts include the Synchro Trapeze and the intense and 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.
