Cirque Du Soleil - Corteo (DVD, 2006)

This is certainly the best filmed of all of the Cirque Du Soleil shows. It follows the story of The Dead Clown, who is imagining his funeral, and all of his friends. He is thrilled by his Four Former Lovers, who perform an amazing aerial acrobatic act on Chandeliers, then by Bambinos (children), who bounce on beds. This is followed by an amazing Cyr Wheel act, a Teeterboard act, Juggling, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Korean Cradle Porters over an enormous Trampoline, a Tightwire, a crazy man with a ladder, and much more. Also be sure to check out the whistling act and the tender acrobatic Pas De Deux performed by two little people. This has to be, by far, my favorite Cirque yet! Everything comes together so well... music, costumes, actors, acrobats... it's truly amazing. It is also the first Cirque show to be performed in the Alley style... audience on two opposite sides of the stage, with the stage coming between the two groups. I bought this because I am truly obsessed with Cirque, but alrady, I've had several friends order it... people who had never heard of the Cirque Du Soleil before, who watched it with me and became enamoured. I would DEFINATELY reccommend this show to ANYONE who asked! It is perfect for families, music lovers, Cirque lovers, people who enjoy theatre... everyone will love it!

When time and money permit my husband and I like to watch the CDS when they're in town. We watched Corteo when they were in Washington, DC, in November. We enjoyed the show so much that I thought to give the DVD to my husband for Christmas, and as a remembrance of the show and what a good time we had watching it...

I am a true Cirque du Soleil groupie...
they bombard your senses with incredible sounds, artistic beauty, and astonishing things to see, that leave you breathless and in a state of awe.... and looking at the world a little differently afterward.

Great for the whole family! Loved it! Saw the live show in Portland, Oregon and had to buy dvd! Amazing talent, Great story line, Great soundtrack, cant wait to see another!

Great show

I saw this Corteo performance live in Houston in 2007. Loved it, had to buy the DVD. The DVD was no less spectacular. Great angles, clear picture and amazing sound. Each part of this performance is worth seeing again and again.

Well, all cirque du soleil show are amazing. Corteo is a great show but not as funny as Alegria, Dralion. The funeral mood is the blame. In the other hand, the performers are really breath taking. Worth seeing live.

This is an amazing film that will bring out the child in anyone. The things these acrobats do defies belief! Everyone should see it!

I bought this after seeing the show in Chicago. It is an exelent Cirque show and still amazes me that it was all done under the Big Top. Highly Recomended A+
