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

The experience of this show is simply incredible. A modern and extremely complete circus, we're dealing with top-level sports artists presenting acts, each more exceptional than the next. High-flying, spectacular, contortionist, extraordinary, in short, a must-see at least once in your life.

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.

I never miss this troupe when they come to Paris. Allegria is one of their top shows. A mix of poetry, humor and dazzlingly energetic tableaux. Scotched to the seat. A show to remember for a long time. I can't offer you any photos, as I turned off my mobile and enjoyed the show to the full.

It's just something incredible. For most of the performance, you just sit there with your mouth open and wonder how a person can do this. Also, their incredible costumes are a separate pleasure for the viewer's eye☺️ I recommend going to everyone who has the opportunity🤩

A circus like a theater, astonishing and comic at the same time.the originality of the dynamic numbers to the rhythm of the musicians (guitar, keyboard and especially drums) sometimes softened by the singers.I forgot the interventions of the clowns with their farcical texts. Bravo!

It was an overall incredible experience: all the artists are unbelievably skilled, the costumes are amazing, the music is super engaging, "and the people very bendy" - adds my husband. I'd recommend it to anyone, of any age!
