Cirque du Soleil – Corteo

Cirque du Soleil returns to Australia with one of its most enchanting productions — Corteo.

From 2–5 October 2025, Adelaide Entertainment Centre transforms into a dreamlike world between heaven and earth, as Corteo (Italian for “cortege”) takes centre stage. Created and directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, Corteo blends acrobatics, theatre, and comedy to tell the heartfelt and humorous story of a clown imagining his own funeral in the midst of a grand carnival.

Audiences will be transported into a mesmerising celebration filled with larger-than-life characters, soaring aerial feats, and poetic visuals—framed by a stunning central stage setup that gives audiences a performer’s-eye view of the show and each other.

Expect a magical blend of the ridiculous and the sublime, where angels hover, jugglers tumble, and illusions dance with reality. With over 12 million spectators in 30 countries, this is Cirque du Soleil as you've never experienced it before.
