An incredibly beautiful show, with everything you need to have an unforgettable time. The singers, the musicians, the crazy, talented drummer, the performers, all showing extraordinary prowess in a flawless parade. There wasn't a moment of boredom, with every detail down to the last detail. The clowns made us laugh out loud, transitioning between 2 numbers with relish. What can I say about the organization of the reception, everything is done to make you feel at ease, no need to worry about finding your place, the staff who welcome you are smiling and guide you straight to your seat. Breathtaking, everything is pleasure and voluptuousness....I recommend.

Alegría was absolutely breathtaking! From the very first moment, the music, costumes, and acrobatics completely drew us in. The artistry and energy on stage were mesmerizing — every act felt like pure magic. What made it even more special was that my 4-year-old daughter was just as captivated as I was. She sat wide-eyed through the entire show, clapping and laughing with delight. It’s rare to find something that enchants both adults and little ones alike, but Alegría truly does. The combination of stunning visuals, live music, and emotional storytelling makes this one of Cirque du Soleil’s most beautiful productions. A perfect experience for families — unforgettable, heartfelt, and full of joy.

The show was not even halfway through and I had already decided that this was not my last cirque du soleil! The level of the show and the ability of all the people involved in it is phenomenal! Supernatural I would say , something I will never forget! Highly recommended for everyone , and a very heartfelt standing ovation for cirque du soleil and all their staff!

    The story

    Within the weathered walls of a once-magnificent kingdom, a war is brewing. The old guard desperately clutches to their lost power while the spirited Bronx movement rises from the streets. In the shadows, the court jester Mr. Fleur dreams of ascending to the empty throne. But among the court's crumbling grandeur, ethereal Angels carry the promise of change. As their celestial grace mingles with the revolution, a new dawn begins to break over the kingdom.

    Magnifique et cela pas grâce à headout où j'ai payé 43,20 eur pour une place porte 8 rangée Q section 206 siege 16 qui normalement coûte 29eur + 7eur service soit 7,20 eur de supplément et à une place avec " vue sur la scène reduite''... on a headout map that doesn't correspond to Cirque du soleil's official website .... I felt ripped off and ripped off... I went to the Cirque du soleil "concierge" under the big top and explained my problem... especially since on Google your site is the first ....so I bought my ticket without knowing After my purchase I discovered the official site and there .... I saw the problem with this resale...and this ticket The "concierges" are well aware of this problem and unfortunately ... they don't know what to do. they apologized, but in addition to apologizing, they changed my seat because I'm handicapped and it's hard to get around with a crutch... I had a mobile chair 18 in the first row... entrance 7 with a charming attendant to guide me. ...on an entrance by a ramp without stairs....I was with a crutch...a dream A seat 1.5 meters from the podium and on the artists' side of the stage ... incredible..surprise..a real joy... Complicity with the clowns through little winks...and bows from the Asian antipodist lady in front of me...who did an incredible number...3m from me... For the last act of the trapeze artists...I was under the safety net and under this fantastic act.... I would like to thank the people at Cirque du soleil for their reaction and their kindness....I didn't pay any extra for this seat.

    From the very first minutes, the show struggles to get off the ground: the acts that only yesterday took our breath away seem to drag this time. Then the clowns arrive. Twice, three times... With each entrance, the hope of a burst of laughter; with each exit, the realization of a widening void. Their sketches drag on and on. We look at our watches... We have the unpleasant impression that they're making us "hold" the show rather than giving it to us. And then there are the prices. Yesterday, the bar was a gourmet interlude; today, it's a bloodletting: €5 for 20 cl of cola, €10 for Triple Karmeliet - double that of a good restaurant. One hundred percent increase, zero percent justification. We order out of politeness, we drink out of spite, we calculate the cost of each sip. The magic no longer has any taste, only a salty aftertaste. At the end of the show, we don't say "Wow", we only find a "bof" echoing between the bleachers.

    Alegría by Cirque du Soleil was absolutely mesmerizing — a perfect blend of breathtaking acrobatics, expressive mime, and stunning show elements, all sprinkled with just the right amount of comedy. The performance was captivating from start to finish, with every scene flowing seamlessly into the next. One of the most impressive aspects was how the stage transitions were incorporated into the performance itself, making the set changes feel almost invisible. The technical precision and creativity behind it were truly remarkable. Despite the large crowd, everything ran incredibly smoothly — entering and leaving the venue was efficient and stress-free. Overall, Alegría is a magical experience that combines artistry, emotion, and spectacle in a way only Cirque du Soleil can. Highly recommended!
