Cirque du Soleil returns to the Chicagoland area after a four-year absence with its joyous Corteo, to be presented at the NOW Arena (5333 Prairie Stone Parkway, Hoffman Estates) for five performances only, from Thursday, June 1, 2023 to Sunday, June 4, 2023. This unique production, directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, first premiered in Montreal in April 2005, and debuted under the Big Top in Chicago the following year. Since its creation, the show has amazed over 10 million spectators, in 20 countries, on four continents. Cirque du Soleil last performed in Chicago in 2019. Corteo, which means cortege in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth. Do not miss out on your chance to see Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo this weekend. For general information or to purchase tickets, please visit www.cirquedusoleil.com/corteo.
