What I loved most about my experience at Alegría by Cirque du Soleil was the feeling of being transported into a completely different world. The performers were absolutely extraordinary, blending strength, grace, and emotion in a way that kept me captivated from beginning to end. The costumes were stunning: vibrant, imaginative, and so detailed that they added an extra layer of magic to every scene. The music and lighting created an atmosphere that felt both intimate and grand. I was also impressed by how well-organized everything was, from the smooth entry to the helpful staff and overall flow of the event. The entire experience felt seamless, immersive, and truly unforgettable, leaving me inspired and full of awe

Algeria, one of the most beautiful Cirque du Soleil shows we've ever seen! With our 7-year-old daughter, we loved the alchemy between incredible acrobatics and funny or moving scenes, with hyper-creative costumes and a story that carried us along. I recommend arriving early, around 6.30pm, 7pm max, for easy parking. You can easily eat in front of and inside the big top. There are snacks and sifts, but you can also order glasses of champagne or prepared plates. You can also buy merchandise before the show or during the 25-minute intermission. You'll leave at around 10.30pm with stars in your eyes...

Very, very nice show. What I didn't like so much was finding out that when you go through Headout, there's a commission of around 60 euros. Exorbitant. I discovered when I received the tickets that I had in fact bought seats for 93 euros when I had paid 338 euros. This was not at all clearly indicated at the time of purchase (nothing on the invoice). On arrival, there was a pole a little too close which partly obscured the view, which is unacceptable for such a price. I thought I was going to the circus, but I was taken in. I'll be more vigilant next time.

A legendary contemporary circus classic reimagined for today, Alegría Paris pits aristocrats against rebels in a theatrical spectacle that appeals to families and art lovers alike.

Created in 1994 by visionary director Franco Dragone with music by René Dupéré, Alegría toured 250+ cities, enthralling over 14 million spectators worldwide this revival honors that legacy.

Built around themes of power, hope, and transformation, expect surreal costumes, gravity-defying acrobatics, playful clowning, with the iconic title song “Alegría” at its heart. Book your Alegría Paris tickets today!

Its Grammy‑nominated soundtrack remains Cirque du Soleil’s best‑selling album and won two Félix Awards, sound by Dupéré still resonates across generations.

Designed by world-class creative team, Gilles Ste‑Croix, Dominique Lemieux, Debra Brown, this modern staging transforms the classic into a visually and emotionally immersive big‑top revival.

In a once‑glorious kingdom that has lost its king, Alegría Paris stages a poetic battle between the aristocratic elite and the hope‑driven youth. As the pretender monarch rules alongside pompous courtiers, a street‑born movement seeks to reclaim joy with music, acrobatics, and rebellion. Set in a world of court clowns, aerial artists, and soulful songs like the iconic title track, the struggle builds toward a climax you’ll only discover inside the tent.

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

It was an awesome place to visit, performers and singers were amazing too. Alegria was the first show I saw on TV, and during my firts visit to Paris, I did not want to miss it. When we were in our sits, magic began. I sang, I cried, and shouted too. When going out, I took my photos on the stands and bought my souvenirs.

Poetry, magical staging. Exceptional athletic performances. It feels like everything is simple and fluid, precisely because hours of training and suffering have allowed the athletes to show us only the beauty of their art. It was breathtaking, well done!
