Four B.C. arenas are on the 2025 tour calendar for Crystal, a Cirque Du Soleil production performed on ice.
Show dates are booked next spring at CN Centre in Prince George (March 6-9), Victoria's Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre (May 8-18), Kelowna's Prospera Place (May 22-25) and Vancouver's Pacific Coliseum (June 4-8).
Crystal, debuted in 2017, promises seven "jaw-dropping traditional circus acts" adapted for the circus company's first foray on ice, featuring trapeze, juggling, pendular poles and extreme skating.
The story follows protagonist Crystal as she goes on "an exhilarating journey of self-discovery full of whimsy and wonder."
Show tickets are sold first to Cirque Club members, with general-public sales starting Monday, Dec. 9, on cirquedusoleil.com/crystal.
This fall in Vancouver, Cirque du Soleil's colouful circus tent returned to False Creek for a three-month run of Echo, the company's 20th Big Top creation and 51st overall. The ultra-talented cast features 52 circus artists hailing from 19 countries including Canada, the U.S., Brazil, Ethiopia, France, Italy, Russia, India and others.
A focal point of Echo's stage is giant, seven-metre, 12-ton CUBE that rotates, moves from upstage to downstage, "floats" in and around the performers and acts as a backdrop for projected images.
Definitely worth seeing, the show is performed at Concord Pacific Place until Jan. 5. Tickets are sold on cirquedusoleil.com, where packages include family seats, VIP experience, backstage tours and meet-and-greets with the performers.
