Cirque du Soleil

Cirque du Soleil is celebrating its birthday with an unprecedented sale. Tickets start at $35 on most touring shows across North America, including popular shows like "Alegria," "Luzia," "Volta," "Corteo" and "Amaluna." Some of the best seats in the house are also discounted in this offer -- which is exclusive to Travelzoo members.

Cirque du Soleil shows combine stunning artistry and compelling stories -- from the curtain of rain that falls in shapes of flowers and birds in "Luzia" to the "balance goddess" in "Amaluna" to the re-imagining of the 25-year-old classic "Alegria." Discover which show should be next on your Cirque bucket list.

Cirque du Soleil's artists share their talents with audiences throughout the world. But running away with a circus means putting their lives up in the air (literally and figuratively). Discover what it's like to be on tour and what they miss most about home.

Behind each of the jaw-dropping acrobatics and feats are hours of work and preparation by Cirque du Soleil artists. Making it look so easy is hard work -- whether it's an aerialist hanging by her hair in "Volta" or trapeze tricks in ice skates in "Crystal." Check out how these performances are imagined and brought to life.
