YEE HAW! CIRQUE IS GOIN’ COUNTRY

Cirque du Soleil will bring audiences of all ages a new theatrical touring show starting in Nashville in July 2024 in collaboration with Universal Music Group Nashville. While introducing the perfect harmony of captivating acrobatics and soulful melodies of beloved country legends and contemporary stars, this ode to country music’s rich heritage promises an unforgettable experience. With deep roots in storytelling, heartfelt emotions, and the ability to resonate with audiences from all walks of life, both country music and Cirque du Soleil embody themes of love and resilience – as well as a passion for breathtaking, powerful performances.

“Our collaboration with Universal Music Group Nashville presents an exciting opportunity for us to expand our creative horizons and reach new audiences, as we delve into the vibrant world of country music entertainment.” Stéphane Lefebvre, President, and CEO of Cirque du Soleil.

“We are thrilled at the idea of joining forces with Cirque du Soleil to offer a one-of-a-kind show celebrating classic and modern country music. Cirque du Soleil is a shining example of making the impossible, possible through creativity, collaboration, and emotion. The opportunity to highlight our incredible catalog and bring the history of country music to life in a live theatrical setting, will allow our music to live on with a new generation of audiences and country music fans,” said Cindy Mabe, Chair and CEO of Universal Music Group Nashville.

The general public on-sale began on December 6, 2023. So, hold onto your cowboy hat as you two-step into a mesmerizing world of breathtakin’ guitar grooves & aerial moves with a boot stompin’ journey into the heart & soul of country.

2023 Série Hommage is… RBO

This new opus is a festive exploration of the eccentric world of Rock et Belles Oreilles, an unconventional journey into the explosive, deliciously slobbery world of the famous Quebec comedy group. Gleefully controversial and masters of the art of the ridiculous, RBO have redefined the boundaries of humor with their colorful characters, burlesque parodies, memorable sketches and the ever-popular “The Tounes”. Come and enjoy an evening inspired by Rock et Belles Oreilles-style delirium-performance. This new edition will perform from July 17, 2023 to August 17, 2023 at the Amphithéâtre Cogeco in Trois-Rivieres, QC.

And more…

So, let’s get into it!
