Corteo - Cirque de Soleil - Vancouver June 27, 2008

What a great show. Linda bought me tickets for our Anniversary last November and gave them to me for Christmas. I didn’t know what to expect until the big top but it was better than I expected, that’s for sure. They set up a big tent for about 1,200 people I think and we had front row on the side. I was skeptical on being front row for a circus theatre show like this but it was great. I love being in the front for anything but movies and this turned out to be great seats. No one on either side of us. The stage and performers were right there in front of us. At one point as a girl was doing her act and swinging, we ducked thinking she might hit us. She didn’t and we nervously laughed. The trapeze, jugglers, dancers, acrobatics and music was just amazing. Watching these amazing athletes perform such feats with such strength and grace really makes one feel a little inadequate. The guys had muscles on their muscles and the women could bend and stretch in all sorts of ways. They received a well deserved standing ovation when it was over.
