Roll up, roll up…

Exciting news, the legendary Cirque du Soleil is taking its Big Top to Abu Dhabi for the first time ever in 2019. The iconic circus show will bring a huge production of their latest show ‘Bazzar’ to Yas Island from March 6 to 16 2019.

Described as a ‘breath-taking, colourful homage to Cirque du Soleil legacy’, Bazzar will feature an array of death-defying acrobats, awe-inspiring dancers and talented musicians when it rolls into town next year.

Tickets will go on sale at 11am on Wednesday December 19 from tixbox.com, with a 40 per cent discount for early bird tickets.

The show will take place in the purpose-built Big Top on Yas Island, which stands at an impressive 19 meters high and is 41 meters wide, with seating for up to 1,500 spectators.

During the show, expect to be spellbound by 30 performers, who will put on a show of fire breathing, stilt walking, contortion, trapeze as well as dancers and musicians who will perform live.
