Cirque du Soleil Omdömen 259

He visto varios espectaculos de cirq du soleil,
Incluso alegria hace unos años, ayer lo vi en Barcelona de nuevo y puedo decir que es el peor de todos y con diferencia, la primera parte es nefasta, dificilmente volvere otra vez

Hemos asistido al espectaculo Alegria en Barcelona y a comparacion de otros este no estaba a la altura del precio que se paga.
Hemos tenido un problema con las plazas y La atencion de parte del personal es pesima y todo son restricciones. Con ello perdimos 20mn del espectaculo y estuve sentada lejos de mi hija.

We have seen "Ovo" in Antwerp last week.
Good job from acrobats, but story of show itself is boring, more like kids theatre show. And story/singing/acting parts are longer then acrobatic acts. Whole show felt like waiting for "wow" moment but unfortunately didn't happen.
Its ok, nice to see, but no value for this price (120€).

I've just read all the 1 star reviews of Cirque du Soleil's Alegria at the Royal Albert Hall, and I agree with every word. I spent nearly £400 on 2 tickets and I would have felt like I'd been fleeced if they'd cost me £10. The show was the worst, by far, Cirque show I have ever seen, which must number 6 or more now. If this was a product, I would be able to claim my money back as it had been missold in a number of ways. So disappointing, I don't even know where to begin, and I certainly will not be going to another.

This was my first time to see Cirque du Soleil and I am not quite sure what to say to be honest. Acrobatics were just breathtaking, especially the trapeze. The clowns were just over the top and frankly annoying, I came to see the acrobatics not that annoying lot. As for the Royal Albert Hall, I find the whole experience absolutely disgraceful. I have been charged 10% 'service charge' and I ended up sitting on a chair with -10% incline so I have spent the whole evening trying not to slide off it. 10% 'service charge' is an absolute disgrace considering the service RAH provided. As for the Cirque, more acrobatics (10/10) less annoying clowns please.

Don’t waste your money. More like a panto.
So disappointing. My expectations was I would be seeing a show with acrobatics not clowns and people walking round a stage making silly noises and doing nothing.

It is worth appreciating the teamwork, exciting costumes and sculpture of the artists' bodies. However, Alegria is a show that differs from the brilliant Luzia show that I watched in 2022.

The Luzia show was considered one of Cirque du Soleil's more innovative and visually stunning shows, drawing inspiration from Mexico's cultures and landscapes.

Unfortunately, Algeria is an artistic show befitting a class c passenger ship.

It was a performance dominated by French mimes, perfect for a children's party, and the repeated vocalisations were not enough to arouse my admiration as before.

Went to Allegria last night and loved it. Amazing acrobatics, singer & marvellous show. Definitely worth it to go but it’s not suitable for children in my opinion.

A Disheartening Night Out at Cirque du Soleil Bazzaar

Attending a Cirque du Soleil show usually promises an evening of awe-inspiring performances that blend artistry, acrobatics, and storytelling into a mesmerizing spectacle. However, my recent experience at their Bazaar show, known for its ambitious attempt to recreate the magic of Cirque in a more intimate setting, was far from what I had eagerly anticipated. From the onset, the combination of high expenses and physical discomfort significantly marred the overall experience.

The financial aspect of the evening was the first to set a disappointing tone. The admission cost of $100 per ticket felt justified for what one would expect from a Cirque du Soleil performance. However, the additional expenses quickly accumulated, beginning with a $20 parking fee, which, while not uncommon for event spaces, added an unexpected increase to the night's budget before even stepping inside the venue.

Once inside, the decision to purchase refreshments led to further dismay. The price for two drinks came to a staggering $48, a figure not inclusive of a tip, which seemed exorbitant even by event venue standards. Together with a $20 charge for basic snacks like popcorn and nachos, the total cost for merely a modest attempt at enhancing the evening with refreshments felt disproportionately high.

Yet, the financial aspects paled in comparison to the discomfort experienced due to the venue's seating arrangements. The seats were packed so closely together that maintaining personal space was impossible. My leg was uncomfortably pressed against the person next to me throughout the show, a situation far from conducive to relaxation or enjoyment. The cramped conditions also made it impossible to adjust seating positions or even cross one's legs, further detracting from the experience.

The performance itself, while eagerly anticipated, did not live up to Cirque du Soleil's renowned standards. The small stage appeared to limit the performers' ability to execute the expansive, awe-inspiring acts that fans have come to expect from Cirque shows. This constraint led to a performance that felt subdued and lacked the usual dynamism and immersive spectacle, leaving me and, presumably, others feeling underwhelmed.

In reflection, the evening at Cirque du Soleil's Bazzar was overshadowed by high costs, uncomfortable seating, and a performance constrained by its physical and logistical limitations. While the artists' talent was evident, the overall experience failed to capture the enchanting magic that Cirque du Soleil is celebrated for. For those considering attending Bazaar, it may be wise to weigh these factors carefully. The magic of Cirque is alive and well in many of their other shows, but on this occasion, it seemed dimmed by the practical realities of the experience.

Cirque du Soleil Alegria was excellent, not sure what other reviews were expecting or watching but it was very entertaining, the circus acts were amazing and the clowning around in-between broke it up a bit, fantastic music and the singers had super voices , it takes loads of training and concentration to pull off the skills, well done and don't be put off by the downers, go and see it.

Saw the new Alegria last night - Shockingly bad. Many acts missing, music terrible and too many stupid clowns. Cirque du Soleil has lost the plot. What a waste of money.

I went to watch this with high expectations but spent the whole time waiting for it to get good.. don’t get me wrong there were very talented artists performing but I was expecting far more and felt deflated. I’ve honestly seen more exciting acts at my work Christmas party circus show. Shame as we paid a lot for tickets and were bored by the end. Would not recommend.

Don’t bother. Show dominated by non verbal French clowns more suited to a 5 year old birthday party. The acrobatics who did perform were brilliant, but when you look around at the packed hall the money taken must be astronomical, I’m sure there are many more talented and entertaining performers to fill the show with to offer some value for money.
Disappointed doesn’t begin to describe this experience

This has to be the worst Cirque show we’ve seen. Alegria at the Royal Albert Hall was more about the annoying clowns than actual circus acts. We first saw the show in 2001 at Battersea Power station in its last year there and it was incredible. The acts were amazing and the whole performance was and still is the best thing we’ve ever seen. In 2017 we took our children to see Amaluna which wasnt quite what we were expecting as it seemed to have less impressive acts than what we’d previously seen but thought it was ok.
But that’s us done with Cirque now, unless I hear they’ve moved to a bigger location so the acts have more room to perform a better show and they kill off the over the top panto clowns which isn’t what we pay to see!

Cirque should NOT be advertising this as a family show.
Simulating explicit adult acts (cleaning/polishing of guns scene) is totally inappropriate for young viewers, especially children.
The backstory revolves around homosexuality, which is find by all means but not what we were expecting when we took our kids to the circus to watch skillful and talented performers. Ditch the in-between acts and this would have been great!

Muy mala atencion al cliente. Impossible canviar entradas de fecha sin un gran coste adicional.

I have seen Cirque du Soleil three times in the past ten years at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Alegria by far was the worst production and a real disappointment! The acrobats and choreography were well done, however, the whole production was done on a cheap budget for the amount of money you spent. No real costumes or stage design and the acrobatic performances were kept to a minimum. The clowns were OK in the beginning and incredibly boring and annoying as the show went on and their silly gigs took up too much of the time. We did not come to see them!

Sad to say, the show was a disappointment.

Flabbergasted by quantity of negative reviews.Thought the show was brilliant. Music, performers, venue top notch.Could not fault it.Yes it's expensive but that's London.My partner her daughter and our grandson thoroughly enjoyed the whole show.Transfixed throughout.A must see despite the opinions of some doom mongers.

I have seen them a few times and frankly it was dazzling. a great activity to go with the kids. If it's hard to impress you in general, you might have a hard time, because if you want to have that breathtaking experience, you need to have the perfect seat in that particular sector, the overhead lightning must be in the right place to not disturb your eyes, and you have to be in a good mood. if you are a very picky person, you might find details that bother you but if you just sit back and try to enjoy what you see as much as possible as the experience goes, you will have a good time.

The show was really well balanced. Some figure skating, trick skating, acrobatics and trapeze. Cute little story line too.
