Cirque du Soleil is returning to San Antonio for the first time since 2006 and for the first time it will be in the form of a Big Top show.
Running from November 5 to December 3 at the Nelson Wolff Stadium, BAZZAR is a dazzling homage to the Cirque du Soleil legacy that will sweep audiences away via its awe-inspiring acrobatic displays, adroit dancers and talented musicians. Delivering the sensory-melding experience that audiences have come to expect from Cirque du Soleil shows for decades, BAZZAR will bring high-energy excitement and a collision of sound and color to the San Antonio community for the first time. Inspired by a traditional Middle Eastern bazaar, Cirque du Soleil’s BAZZAR perfectly captures the bustling kinetic environment of the centuries-old, open-air market setting vis-à-vis its ensemble of diverse characters.
Originally created in 2018, BAZZAR only toured in India and the Middle East before its relaunch in September 2022, when it crossed continents to perform in Brazil. Since then, BAZZAR has toured in Sao Paolo, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago de Chile, and it will be presented in Colombia and Argentina before coming to the United States for the very first time.
Tickets will be available for the general public on March 20 at www.cirquedusoleil.com/bazzar.
