SPOTLIGHT ON ALEGRIA | Cirque du Soleil
• SPOTLIGHT ON ALEGRIA |...
Exactly what I've always thought a circus should be, no little people, no non-human wild or domestic animals, nobody flying out of a canyon, no mockery... CDS is the embodiment of all great human virtues: creativity, aesthetics, music, poetry without words and behind the scene, hard work, care, devotion. Inspirational and beautiful. Blessings to them all!!! I hope to be able to see them at least once before I die! Love from Argentina!!!💖
These words mean everything to us! We hope to see you at our shows soon 😍
@@CirqueduSoleil Oh, how kind of you to reply! I wasn't expecting that but I'm glad my comment made you all happy. It's true and heartfelt and I love you guyz! Wish you all the best always!!!
i agree, but what do you mean no little people? there is a little person in Kurios
@@ttpdTV09Il veut certainement dire quelque chose plutôt comme: pas d'exposition de personne ayant des différences physiques marqués comme le nanisme ou autre "malformation" comme des "curiosités". Tout le monde ici est traité comme un être humain et non comme une bête de foire comme c'était et c'est parfois le cas dans d'autres cirques ou spectacles.
@@NitaMahopmaa ohhh okay thankyou
I have so much respect for these performers. All the hard work, dedication, and discipline that it must take to make all this come together.
Very well said! Totally agree with you that commitment, dedication and hard work, along with passion for the profession results in Perfection!
Ñ
Gffdxh ♥️🤩😍🤭
And also the work of everyone behind to make this show happen - wardrobe make up artist and all the propsmen .
@@geraldobrizot4085 thank you
When we watched this, the performers during the "Alegria" segment actually kissed and the whole crowd just lost it. It was gorgeous T__T
The most fascinating part about this stuff to me is who comes up with the stunts and how do they know what is humanly possible and what isn’t? So cool
I wonder also if everything is strictly planed in these solo perfomances or if they just know what they can do and what will work out and then they improvise? Eg this cry wheel, is there a strict plan how he will spin around in 5:00 or is it just like let's have a spinning session and see what happens....
@@janbensi4065 I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure every single second of the routine is choreographed. So the guy knows when to start and stop the spinning sesh and what to do during it
@@janbensi4065 Is all prepare i'm sure. The circus make the auditions searching for the sport they want, then the ones who autidion have to show their ability & what they can do. Take months.
@Ian Hornbuckle @Jan Bensi @ly ne I love these questions because I know this like the back of my hand. Sorry, this will be long. Usually, the performers come up with tricks and skills, especially with this act because the performer actually designed this apparatus and is the best in the world so far, and in gymnastics, my sport, when someone does a new skill, it will usually be named after them and maybe added to or banned from the code of points depending on the danger level of said skill. Nobody outside of the actual athletes comes up with skills especially when put in a routine so it's a matter of time before someone comes along and is able to do that skill. Next question, almost everything is choreographed and rehearsed to a t but there might be slight differences in how it's executed, it's just the human element, but we are usually able to count how many times we, say, spin on a crossed wheel but with the hula hoops, it's a bit different because Elena or whoever is performing is not counting how many times it spins because that's not as important as it is with the crossed wheel, she's just trying to keep it spinning. It's also a very heavy amount of muscle memory as well and we don't so much as see what we're doing as we do feel it. Final comment, Cirque du Soleil is such a big company that they hold annual auditions that are open, and people are evaluated based on their skillset. Not everyone gets a job at first but they're all entered into the Cirque database of performers so Cirque can hire them for a role they need filled later. If you're lucky and have someone you know who works there, they can put your foot in the door for you and you can sometimes bypass the audition process but will still be evaluated. After you are cast, you do prepare for months with a specific act(s) which you can recommend, but ultimately, they will put you where they need you. Done. If you read all that, thank you. Hope that answers your questions.
@@FireMonkey9 I stumbled upon this video out of the blue and just read your comment. I’m fascinated and I just want to thank you for taking the time out to clarify so much information!
A beautiful roaring scream of joy and sorrow. So extreme. Alegria, there is a love in me raging.
I experienced Alegria in 2019 in South florida. It was my first time going to Cirque de Soleil...and not only was I blown away, I was so mesmerized at how impactful it was that I have not forgotten about it to this very day. It is something that will live forever in your memories. Irenes voice is so magical and underated. Alegria is something that the whole world needs to see.
couldn’t agree more ! Saw my first (and sadly only) performance in Antwerp 1996 ... this video took me back there 🤩, so nice to watch now during another lockdown 🇦🇺
I haven't seen Alegria, but I had the same experience when seeing "O" in Vegas 20 years ago.....go see O! It's unforgettable. I've since seen a few other of their shows, but O is still the best.
Alegria was also my first. I saw it in Seattle in 2003, and even though I've seen others, Alegria remains my favorite with fast track being my favorite act.
I'm very glad you enjoyed the show. And even more glad that this show was your first introduction to Cirque du Soleil. It's definitely my favorite. I love hearing people's first-time experiences in seeing a Cirque show. I wish I could wipe out my mind and experience this show again for the first time. I saw this show five times when it was here in Seattle very recently. Irene is absolutely fantastic! I was about five feet away from her at the security gate when I was meeting with other artists and I'm kicking myself that I wasn't able to get her attention to ask for a photo. I gave her two dozen white roses at the end of the show on their last show here in Seattle. She's so amazing.
I had the pleasure to meet Irene just before the last show of 2019, which I attended, she was so nice, I asked for a picture and she went above and beyond and recorded a video for my daughter introducing herself and other performers who were at the store with her. Later at the show, her performance blew me away, she is absolutely amazing. The other singer is also fantastic. I believe they both created a beautiful experience to remember for a lifetime. Thank you both of you.
The amount of trust they have for each other is remarkable
I cannot believe how well Elena Lev has trained to keep her spine healthy since OG Alegria. What an absolute inspiration
The ring girl tho, she is just spectacular. Her entrance is phenomenal.
Wow! I loved the "old Alegria", but this one is amazing. It deserves much more attention. Hopefully this beautiful art can be shown very soon on the world stages, were it belongs to!
I also love the other Alegria. It was my first introduction into Cirque du Soleil and I've been obsessed with CdS ever since. But this new incarnation just blew it out of the water. I saw it 5 times when the show came to Seattle. I cried during Mirko because everything was just so beautiful. I've seen a lot of Cirque shows and Alegria: In a New Light is most definitely the best one I've seen and my favorite.
I can’t wait for their return. When it comes to art and beauty, there’s nothing like cirque du soleil.

Bless your soul sir
;-;
Thank you!!!
Thanks
whats the song at 16:00 called?
Anyone who attended the "old and beloved" Alegria, being spellbound by the voice of Francesca Gagnon gets goosebumps knowing here comes a "Deep dive into MAGIC !“🔮🌟
Im not getting moved by the instrumentation. Does not sound live. Sounds recorded and lacks the feel I had for the old.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who didn’t get the same magical feeling I got from the original run of Algeria. Francesca Gagnon had such a beautiful voice and elegance. The whole new costume and lighting does not give the same energy as it did before.
They probably practice 40 hours a day, and it’s reflected in their movements, precision, and bodies ❤️✨
They make this look effortless….they are such masterful athletes, truly skilled.
Wow I broke out into tears during the climax of the second performance. That was wholly unexpected and strange.
Cirque is so amazing - from the performers to the choreographers to the musicians to the directors to the trainers to the lighting and stage crews, etc... All of these people are magicians who dazzle us with their brilliance 👏🏻
Saw this in Sacramento last night. So good! The two singers had beautiful voices, the performers were amazing. Such a fun night!!
Just saw the show at Sacramento this afternoon, was so excited to see the show as a big cirque du soleil fan, but i have to say I’m pretty disappointed.. the show missing the due straps and some other parts, which is the most important part with the main song, also feel like they changed the show compared to this spotlight, so sad…
Just saw it just now. Bloody amazing
It's hard to imagine how much time and effort goes into a production like this. Conceiving the story, hiring the talent, making the costumes, writing the music, rehearsing every move and note to perfection, Feeding, transporting and housing the talent, crew and management, dealing with injuries and setbacks, and pulling off a tight performance who knows how many times a year and making it profitable!!???!!!
I frreakin love the foot work on that whole part and after in the air 7:53
Beautiful!!💝🌟🌟🌟☄
Anyone says what the 2020 are so bad and cathastrophic, but this... ALEGRIA... this is one wonderful in this time and will be doing EVER ❤️
오늘 서울에서 뉴알레그리아를 보았습니다. 너무나도 아름답고 황홀한 무대였어요!! 공연을 하시는 배우님들에게 존경과 사랑을😍😍😍 보냅니다!! 아름다운 공연 감사하고 사랑합니다~♡
Vancouver loves you Cirque du Soleil!!
We love Vancouver ❤️
i saw Alegria when I was a young kid and fell completely in love with it!
今日、お台場でアレグリアを観てきました。 初めてシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユの公演を観ることができたこと、パンデミックを乗り越えて日本に来てくれたこと、全てに感謝しています。本当に美しく、表現の力を感じました。必ずまた観たいです。
Jeux d'enfants in the snowstorm was too perfect, the music matches perfectly, with the clowns and the weather
I saw Alegria many years ago for the first time in NYC . It was my birthday and I was fortunate enough to be the one chosen from the audience to go on stage for their opening act .Needless to say it was the most fantastic experience ever. Since that day I have followed their performances to different parts of the world. Their performance transfix your soul. The music, the acts, the movement, how everything flows and comes together with with the story…. is just sublime
We are happy that you are completely mesmerized by this show!
Love Cirque ever since i saw Dralion in Amsterdam many years ago. Always impressed with the amazing cast. As a former theater technician i also love the quality of the production, the incredible lichting, audio and amazing musicians. My hats off for all involved on and off stage.
Thank you for the love!
An incredible show to see for human eyes. Greetings from Argentina.
I'm entranced by this show. I'm honestly having withdrawals. Their album plays in my car 24/7.
Reminds me of taking my daughter to this last year. The look of pure joy on her face was amazing. It really is an incredible show.
How I love this show! Its music, its scenography, its colors, and lights... Just delighting!
This is awesome but nothing beats the original Algeria show. Absolutely nothing. I have it on DVD and I still get chills when I watch it.
I feel that same way about Verakai. Takes my breath, all of it.
How much for a copy from you
Ahh you changed the music with the hula hoop girl! It was so hypnotic!
Сколько красоты!!!!! Прекрасно!!!!! Супер!!!!!
What a wow performance! These performers put in lots of sweats, tears, and all that hard work! Must be such an achievement to be apart of this circus! I remember back then, circus with clowns, elephants, tigers, lions, horses, and monkeys, and strange people. This circus only requires talented acrobatic people to perform. Splendid 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
I'm 35, I grew up watching CDS videos, I was this year in München at Kurios, for my first time at cirqus. More then expected, more than a dream come true! Amazing! Tank you for such a feeling, I bow! ❤
So incredible to hear your experience 🥰
Waw! Allegria is my all time favourite show!!! Though I preferred the scratching voice (and more tuned, in my opinion) of the original singer, she has a very different voice and gives to the song something magical like the idea behind this beautiful Cirque and all the people around it. Music is an indissoluble bond. Thanks for creating such a wonderful world!!!
I also preferred the original scratchy voice. Luckily I have it on CD. ❤️🇨🇦
Сколько красоты таланта и любви вы Даруете🙆🙆🙆Брависимооо💓💓💓
Сегодня (18.12.2022) были на Вашем представлении в Сеуле, слов нет: Красиво, шикарно, зрелищно, масштабно😍😍😍👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 при каждой возможности будем ходить а дальнейшем👍🏽🤗 Вы большие молодцы👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤗🤗🤗
I saw the original Alegria back in 2010 and fell in love with the show but over all the music!! AMAZING!!
I don't care how good these singers are (and they're incredible), no one has the magic that Francesca Gagnon has.
Qué recuerdo inolvidable fue ver ALEGRÍA en la primera visita del Cirque du Soléis a la Argentina. ¡Una maravilla!
I’m so ready to go see Alegria in Houston next Thursday 😍😍😍!!! You all are amazing!
Bravo, and again I say "BRAVO"!
This is awesome. I did like the original guy with the staff who would yell "Alegria!". , though that character isn't someone you can compete with. He was a legendary act.
In the Cirque du soleil?🤔😮...it's amazing 💜
Just saw it live yesterday in London. Their talents are just so awesome. Highly recommend to watch the show. 👏👏👏
The talent, the stamina, the choreography is just phenomenal. Beautiful I loved the first one and love this new version can’t wait to see it live someday… ❤️
Ваше доверие друг другу творит чудеса🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
In my honest opinion, the original version had way more magic and elegance. With Francesca Gagnon’s beautiful singing the original run was phenomenal, classic Cirque.
Es una reversión fantástica😊
he visto el primer show de Alegria y es fascinante todo, hoy tengo la fortuna de verlo en su nueva version , es tan bello, mil gracias guy soy ta feliz de haberlos conocido
DAMN!!! I love everything about this! Why has this not showed up on my feed before?!
As always A True delight! Thanks! Top Hat!!🙏
Перші 5 хвилин - треніровка для космонавтів! А так БРАВО! Чудово!
Впечатляет, восхитительно красиво, спасибо всей команде 😍
6:30" POETRY IN MOTION... The beauty... I had tears in my eyes.
🥰🥺
Always enjoyable!!! Thank you crew & cast of Cirque du Soliel!!
Es hermoso ya quiro verlo en vivo 🇲🇽 me hizo llorar de la emoción y la hermosa que esta la música
Antes , los principios de los 70 tenía una sede en Austin TX, se le llamaba circo del Sol porque era internacional, y había otro, histórico, con el nombre de Circo Internacional, también había sede en Italia, y Suecia/Noruega, aunque se movían por todo lugar que fuesen aceptados. Tuve la suerte de coincidir siendo un niño con alguna actividad, eran como personas lo que ves, sí merece la pena que lo veas, porque lo vivirás. Todos los niños que hicimos algunas cosas lo llevamos en el corazón. Nos llamaban pelotitas amarillas, pues con este color se nos veía mejor. Disfrútalo y se niña🤸🧚☀️
역시! 알레그리아가 최고에요!저도 나중에 커서 태양의서커스 단원이 될거에요. 그레서 열심이 노력하고 있답니다! 알레그리아 너무 멋져요. 펜이에요!!! 🎉 사랑해요!..
I love Francesca Gagnon because of the raw power, but I’m happy to see the singer in Black on stage. Irene’s light, floaty voice versus Virginia/Cassia’s deeper throaty vocals is such an amazing contrast. We can all feel nostalgia for the old Algeria, but this one has its amazing aspects as well. I hold so much respect for Cirque du Soleil.
7살때 내한와서 보고 절대 있지못했던 알레그리아를 13년이 지나고 20살이 되어 보고왔습니다 ㅎㅎ 감화가 새롭고 정말 변함없이 좋은 공연이었습니다 정말 인상깊고 절대 잊지못할 또 하나의 기억을 선물해주셔서 감사합니다♥
Cirque Rocks the World in entertainment!!! PERIOD.
Как это красиво!!! Восхитительно и великолепно!
Never in my life have seen something so beautiful
This is SOOOO much more than meets the eyes 👀. But gotta give props to All of these splendid young and old artists.😎👏👏👏💝💞
The skills of everyone involved in these productions is beyond exemplary, they never cease to amaze and impress.
Showwww lindo demais! I love Cirque du Soleil!❤🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oh, this is wonderful! Alegria was my first Cirque show that I saw when I was....13? 14? It captured my imagination so much. I have such a soft spot for this show, and I'm very excited to see it come back in a new interpretation. I was so sad to hear that the show was being retired. It looks wonderful.
This is my favorite show since I was 6... hope I can see this performance live someday!!!!💕
Algeria will always be near and dear to my heart… fell in love with it the first time I ever saw… it was my first show from there I went to watch a few more when they came to my city…
By chance I got ticket to enjoy "Alegria" last December in HOU, my very first Cirque du Soleil Show. It was wonderful. Congratulations. It's something out of this world. And that catchy song is now a regular on my playlist.
The performers in Cirque du Soleil are always so amazing!
Amazing! This would be perfect to watch with my family tomorrow night after dinner. Our 5yo son would be captivated!
昨日日本公演みてきました！ あぁ最初にこの動画見てたら、きっともっと感慨深かった😢 また見たくなった！ また日本に来てくれるの首を長くして待ってます！
They are all so amazingly talented! It's mesmerising. I'd love to see the show in person!
We recently went to see them twice... That's how much we loved the show... Awesome performance 🥰👌💪👏 the guy with the fire was my absolute favorite 🥰
I love them !! You're AMAZING ATHLETES
Amazing!!! Impresionante !!! Emociona !!! Mis felicitaciones Cirque du Soleil!!! 👏👏👏👏❤️
Just saw these guys last night. Very cool experience. First time ive been to a show like this. Great job!
This was the best part of the pandemic. I saw this live and to be able to revisit it during hard times really do cheer you up
It saddens me so deeply that I cant see this in person because the shows in my area last year were canceled. I love Solei and it was clips of alegria that made we fall in love with it years ago. I wanted to see it so bad and was excited to actually be able to see it in person, but now I can't. I will enjoy whatever show I get to see next, broken heart and all 💔💙❤
It's the best show ever, both versions are wonderful
I keep trying to find the appropriate words to use to describe this. It's pure magic.
My favorite show since forever. The end brings me to tears every single time. Please come back to Brasil ❤
Perfección total! Estoy impactada con esa fuerza, armonía, coordinación... todo lo tienen los jóvenes que hacen posible lo que parece imposible en el Cirque du Soleil.
I watched the show Alegría in São Paulo - Brazil, in 2008. The most beautiful presentation I've ever seen in my life! I got emotional from start to finish, and I didn't hold back the tears! Please bring Alegría - In a new light to Brazil! The feeling that this show brings us is unique!
My daughter (in the pic.) Has seen 4 cirque de Soleil shows she is 4 now. O, crystal, kurious, and one, she is obsessed she does not want to even go to the movies! She's like we gotta go to your shows! You guys are awesome and keeping art ALIVE!!!
Wow she's one lucky girl!! Already 4 shows at 4 years old! We're so happy she enjoys them ❤️🤩
Долголетия и процветания🕊🕊🕊Красота спасет Мир💐💐💐💐💐
Сказочно красиво. Спасибо за то что есть возможность увидеть хотя бы на экране.
Cirque du Soleil was amazing, extraordinary experience.I loved.🤩😍
"Alegria"
Amazing, Stunning Performers! I've seen Alegria 3 times and I'd see it again! Love Cirque du Soleil!
A joyous magical feeling💜💜💜
I saw the original show in Denver, CO right around 20 years ago and was blown away by the talent of these artists (Power Track was my favorite act). Now, having just seen the "new light" version in Portland, OR this past weekend, I just have to say that once again, the people of Cirque know how to impress. The grace, strength, flexibility, and artistry of these performers is beyond amazing. I'm 57 and just in awe at the spectacular show that is created by the people of Cirque. While I still cherish the story of the original, I can honestly say that this old man was impressed by the "new" story that was told. Thank you, Cirque du Soleil, for making this aging cynic believe in the magic once again.
Fantastique,féerique,bravo,au plaisir de vous revoir
This was my favourite spectacle from you guys ever!! Yesterday I watched Kooza, breathtaking! But, Alegría is Alegría... I love the songs in it and especially the duo straps! WOW!
Here.... In such an amazing love.. Some how, feeling part of all this magic. ❤❤❤❤❤
Come see! It's even more impressive in person!
BRAVOBRAVOBRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cirque du Soleil is a greatest creation of a combination of art, professional sport, technologies, and much much more!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I saw it last night in Kirkland, Wa. Tickets were a Christmas gift, and it was amazing!
Amazing. Every show I've ever seen has awed me.
The best show I have ever seen ❤
Love hearing this!
