Cirque du Soleil Anmeldelser 

As a massive Cirque de Soleil fan I was really looking forward to Corteo at the Royal Albert Hall. However we were really disappointed - I had no idea what the story was about (something about a funeral?), none of the acts really had the wow factor of previous shows and there was so much disjointed padding between the main acts it added to a lack of coherence. Ultimately a very expensive circus show that wasnt particularly memorable. Felt like they had tried to produce it more cheaply. Will not now just book again without seeing some reviews of future shows as I see others have been similarly disappointed and should have done more research before parting with £500 or so for the 4 of us.

What a massive disappointment, I have been to so many of their shows around the world and this year’s show in London was quite frankly shocking. I am a big fan of Cirque du Soleil and it was hard to write this review but I felt I needed to .

Have been to two previous performances and this was by far the worst. The storytelling was awful, and not nearly enough good big moments. The staging of the event was terrible too. Could hardly see a thing. Putting a curtain down the middle of the venue was a silly idea. Lots of people around us were complaining and disappointed.

Un espectáculo muy bonito. Pero nos cobraron entradas normales y eran como de visibilidad reducida los asientos, una gran columna tapaba la mitad de casa show. Decepcionante es la palabra porque de haberlo sabido hubiese cogido realmente visibilidad reducida o algo más caro en primera fila. No volveremos.

This was the first time I have seen Cirque du Soleil. I took my 9 year old granddaughter and we both loved it. Not been to the Royal Albert Hall before either but would love to do again. Beautiful building and helpful staff. Great afternoons entertainment.

What a disappointment. Not even a shadow of previous shows. Some items were fabulous - over all poor. They split the hall in two with massive curtain, soz unless you are in the middle seating, very limited visibility.. why did they do that?

Nothing wrong with the performers but the staging at the royal Albert hall is appalling!! Sat in the stalls row 2 seats 59 onwards and couldn’t see a thing!!!! Have seen cirque du soleil here before and the performance was in the round. Have no idea why the show was staged like a small theatre. Not worth the money.

I have seen 4 prior shows & can honestly say "Lucia" was the least entertaining.
The costumes were less than attractive, in fact they were boring & unattractive - NO WOW factorat all!
The acts did NOT flow.
The performers were Good but we didn't see enough of them.
The props were pathetic.
NOT for 1 minute was my breath taken away!!!
Cirque du Soleil, I won't be coming again if this is the best you can offer!!

I disagree with all the previous reviews. The RAH is beautifully laid out. The music dance choreography staging all of it is excellent

Our show was interrupted due to storms, when the show finally returned for 10 mins, they stopped again for a full intermission, making it a very late week night outing.
The show was disjointed, disappointing and slightly amateurish compared to other shows I’ve seen. Not a word spoken in English and there were sections that were simply boring. Not great bang for buck.

This was the worst one yet, I have seen every single one that has come to Sydney and have been blown away by all of them, this was a load of rubbish, in between the main acts some idiot blow a whistle and kicked a blow up ball and thought it was funny.

If you watch all the other actors on the side while the main show is going on they just looked like they wanted to be somewhere else.

I have seen better jugglers down at Circular Quay

Dont waste your money

As others have stated, this was the worst Cirque du Soleil I have been to. Visited in the Royal Albert Hall. £500 for 2 adults and a child, and yet our seats were higher, but a long way, than any of the acts - it was like looking down at an ant circus performing. But seats aside, the story, there was none, and the acts..nothing new, rehashed from previous shows, but with less grandeur. No excitement, no magic.. it was bland and a chore to sit through.

Hola a todos,

Quiero recomendaros, y contaros, lo extraordinariamente genial de la experiencia de ir al Cirque du Soleil, Alegría, en la Casa de Campo.

Ayer fui, y si tengo que dar una puntuación sobre 10, le daría un 15 sobre 10.

Que sepáis que a mi, por ejemplo, 9 de cada 10 pelis que veo, las aguanto 20 minutos porque no me enganchan, no me meten en la historia, me aburren. Será que cuando has visto muchas y muy buenas, el listón se pone muy alto y lo medianamente normal resulta aburrido al cuarto de hora. Pero con el Circo del Sol, me ha ocurrido lo contrario, me ha embobado como a un niño durante casi 2h y media.

Una recreación de fantasía absolutamente hipnótica, inmersiva, visualmente exquisito, bellísimo.

Unos 60 actores con vestuario genial, intercalando payasos, comicos y humor, con espectáculos de equilibrismos, fuego, saltos, acrobacias espctaculares..

De una belleza máxima, tanto por el vestuario como digo, como la iluminación ,envolvente, atmosférica, acompañada de una música y sonido verdaderamente genial. Las piezas musicales son de 10, tanto para las piezas comicas, como de tensión y suspense para los trapecistas, como de acción de estilo trival para el espectaculo de fuego.

Onírico total.

Recordais cuando uno era niño ? La magia de Barrio Sésamo, la navidades y tantas otras cosas, cuando todo lo fantástico y mágico nos dejaba en estado de encanto e hipnosis, pues exactamente así ha sido. He vuelto a la infancia durante 2h y media.
No exagero, de verdad.
Emocionante.

No es barato, pero pienso volver de nuevo en menos de dos meses.

Una maravilla.

The two stars is for the effort the cast put in to a performance that was badly thought through and executed. The negative review is centred on the disgusting food and drink prices. They should be ashamed of charging those prices in this current environment. The next issue is the narrow seats, I’m a normal sized individual but there seemed to be a lot of overweight people there who were encroaching on other people’s seats. Case in point the lady next to my wife, who when asked if she could move over a tad, reacted badly and swapped seats with her daughter who then abused my wife whilst my granddaughter sat by. I challenged her behaviour but she refused to concede that she was in the wrong. Crawl back under that rock if you can’t walk amidst society like a decent human being. Another problem is people coming in late, not a few minutes but 10 to 15 minutes late. They then use their phone torches to locate their seats and interrupt other people’s experience because they have no consideration. If you can’t get there with sufficient time they should be locked out period. The sad reality is that obesity is so prevalent now in society that they need to enlarge the seats to cater for these individuals.

I attended the 8pm on 04/01. This is the 5th Cirque Du Soleil show I have attended. WELL, this one takes the cake! What a load of rubbish, not ONE word was said in ENGLISH. A water stream falling down and a non speaking person try to catch it in a cup. Costumes with people hanging their heads out the sides. 2 couples next to and in front of me consuming alcohol and yelling/whoooing ALL NIGHT. A kid behind saying MUMMY MUMMY MUMMY for 2 hours. An 180cm intoxicated male sitting in front of me with Yes, sunglasses on his head all night, left me with near nothing to see. Raygun and series of MR BEAN would have been more exciting to watch and cheaper than the near $500 for 3 seats!

I love cirque du soleil and have been to many shows. This one was the worst I've seen. Very disappointing. The acts weren't as good. The costumes were boring. The story , what story

Muy mejorable. Los números circenses, son pasables, pero uno espera mucho más de un circo con esta fama. Lo que es imperdonable, es el show de los payasos. No hacen gracia y hacen pesado el show. No vale el precio que piden.

Great show
It was freezing

Pensé que hacer un esfuerzo y gastarme más de 100 euros en una buena entrada para verlo en condiciones ya que nunca lo había visto y con tanto renombre iba a flipar, cuál es mi sorpresa una columna delante, una pena por qué hay gente muy profesional y artista pero para mí un precio muy abusivo con falta de visibilidad 😤😤 salí muy muy enfadada

No queda ya nada del vedadero Cirque du Soleil, el último espectáculo Alegría no merece la pena para nada y menos por el precio pagado, lo he visto más veces y quien lo ha visto y quien lo ve.
