Cirque Du Soleil - Corteo

This is a fantastic DVD of the beautiful music and amazing acts created specially for Cirque du Soleil. We've seen 4 of their different shows live and can't recomend highly enough that if you get the chance, TAKE IT! If the show doesn't visit any cities close enough to see live, buy the DVD's...you Won't be sorry you spent the money!!

Corteo is great, on par with Allegria, absolutly mindblowing, is there no limit that the trapezists, acrobats can do ? The music, as in all the shows is superb, a most integral part of the performance. It stands up very well on its own, just listening to it.In another word : MAGNIFIQUE !

Corteo is not what you might first expect from Cirque Du Soleil. While there are some of the same great trademark theatrics and acrobatics, this one tells much more of a story than the rest. The story is quite well told of a clown who dreams of his own funeral. The part of the clown is acted quite well, and the scenes were very captivating.Overall, this is not my favorite Cirque Du Soleil performance as it lacks some of the "Oooh and Ahh" factor of some of the others. (This makes me wonder why Corteo is the only one available on Blu-Ray) Nonetheless, it was a very entertaining watch that Cirque fans will surely enjoy.

CORTEO is not greatly related to the other Cirque shows in that the Drama,use of dramatically rich deep tones and the magnificent musical score could (and have done so to me)take you back in time to the richness of past centuries. Corteo involves the complete cast for most of the peformance as they either play instruments or sing in chorus. Yes, there are lovely and clever circus performances by some of the best artistes around, but they seem to me to take second place, although incorporate perfectly,into this magnificent performance.Not one for the lighthearted La Nouba, Saltimbanco, Varekai lovers, but one which is so far above and beyond all the other Cirques', a treasure, a complete immersion in sound and sight. Such a pity it could not be Rated "OUT OF THIS WORLD" as it certainly deserves, and yes, I will watch it again tomorrow--I'm totally hooked on Corteo.

Excellent Item. I love this show. from Cirque Du Soleil Good quality and the DVD came with the behind the scenes as a plus. The music from Corteo and the show itself is WONDERFUL, I totally recommend it to anyone.

I was fortunate to have seen this show live--not once, but twice--last fall when it was in Minneapolis. Of all the Cirque du Soleil shows I've seen live and on DVD this is by far my all time favorite show! The music is absolutely gorgeous, the angels' costumes are beautiful and the humor is wonderful. It is truly a celebration of a clown's life. Needless to say, I highly recommend adding the DVD to your Cirque du Soleil collection--and by all means go see the show live if it comes to your city!

This is a wonderful production of one of the best Cirque shows out there. And unlike some of the other video productions, this one really captured the magic of the live show. Love it!

This was a very high quality DVD. The acts were a good as any other of the many Cirque du Soleil DVDs we have purchased. Story line a bit different than other Cirque du Soleil DVDs...but it worked just the same.
