Cape Town’s Grand West Arena has hosted a number of fantastic shows and international entertainers and bands over the past few years, and 2011 looks even more promising with artists like The Script and James Blunt set for sold out shows later this year.

Stealing the entertainment limelight at the moment though, is the world-famous and critically acclaimed touring show of the Cirque du Soleil which ventured out to South Africa for the first time ever this year! Renowned for its ability to awe, inspire and entertain, the Saltimbanco show opens in Cape Town today and will be here until the 3rd of April. Described by most spectators as “awesome”, in the true sense of the word, Saltimbanco promises to deliver spectacular entertainment here in our fair city, as it did last week in Johannesburg.

In the grand traditions of circus entertainment and breathtaking acrobatics, Cirque du Soleil has earned its reputation for excellence over the past 25 years. With 22 shows running in different locations across the globe, the touring shows are always fresh and exciting. More than 11 million fans across the world have had the opportunity to see the Saltimbanco show since it began touring in 1992 and now at last it is our turn!
Acts include the Chinese Poles (pictured here), the Russian Swing and gravity-defying Bungees and Trapeze. Juggling, Acrobatic Bicycles and Clowns are sure to entertain spectators of all ages. The talented cast of 50 artists hail from 20 different countries and provide an entertainment experience we hope will not prove to be a once-in-a-lifetime event! Tickets are available from Computicket.
If you missed the show in Johannesburg or you don’t live in either city, if you can make the journey to Cape Town for this amazing show, come to Cape Town for the weekend – we will find you accommodation, organize your flights and transport to make this event an incredible memory for you and your loved ones!
