Cirque du Soleil is heading to the city's Westport waterfront for its latest return to town.
The high-flying French-Canadian circus will hold its new “Totem” show Apr. 7 at Patrick Turner’s waterfront proposed development along the Middle Branch in South Baltimore. Turner is working on infrastructure at the sight currently.
Cirque du Soleil will pitch its famous Grand Chapiteau — otherwise known as a large tent for those non French speakers — on the property until April 24.
Tickets are available to Cirque club members for an exclusive period through Jan. 15. Membership is free. Until Jan. 15, ticket prices range from $28.50 for children to $350 for front row seats for adults.
In 2009, the troupe set up its blue-and-yellow grand chapiteau, in Lot O off Ostend Street near M&T Bank Stadium for its show “Kooza.” Previously, Harbor Point was the tent's home for a bit.
Meanwhile, Cirque — a mix of acrobatics, music and dance — has said it may bring its indoor “Quidam” show to First Mariner Arena toward the end of next summer.
Cirque operates 20 shows simultaneously around the world. Since 1984, more than 90 million spectators have attended Cirque shows in more than 200 cities.
