Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo Comes to Perth – August 2025

Cirque du Soleil returns to Australia with its world-renowned production, Corteo, offering audiences a magical experience that blends theatrical brilliance with heart-stopping acrobatics. Making its highly anticipated Perth debut, Corteo will run from August 8 to August 17, 2025, and is set to be a standout cultural event for the city.

Directed by acclaimed creator Daniele Finzi Pasca, Corteo—which means “cortege” in Italian—tells the story of a clown imagining his own funeral, celebrated in a carnival-like atmosphere. This unique perspective is brought to life through a blend of fantasy, comedy, and nostalgia, creating a heartfelt tribute to the beauty of life and the complexity of the human spirit.

The performance takes place on a rotating central stage, designed to provide a 360-degree viewing experience. With the audience seated on both sides, every seat in the house offers an intimate view of the show’s astonishing aerial acts, graceful choreography, and elaborate set design. The atmosphere is immersive, enchanting, and unforgettable.

Since its debut in 2005, Corteo has toured across the globe, enchanting more than 12 million spectators with its imaginative storytelling and breathtaking visuals. Now, for the first time, Perth audiences have the opportunity to experience this celebrated production up close.

Whether you’re a dedicated Cirque du Soleil fan or discovering their artistry for the first time, Corteo promises a captivating evening for all ages.
