What I liked about Alegria was the wonderful costuming and the beautiful voice of Franchesca Gagnon. However, as far as the other Cirque performances go, I have to rate this one as somewhat lacking.
Personally, I think a bit too much time was spent with the clowns. While an important part of Cirque's charm, it takes away time from the acts. It seemed to me that there were less acts than in most Cirque performances and to me they appeared a bit less polished than what I'm used to seeing in this series.
On the good side, though, there were a few outstanding acts such as the tumblers and a Hawaiian fire dancer. The strong man was especially intriguing and well presented.
While entertaining, I'd still recommend Quidam and Dralion to first time Cirque watchers.

Cirque has always been a wonderful show. Having seen this show on VHS I had to update it to DVD for my collection. A wonderful spectical for the whole family to watch.

Amazing performances by some very talented people. Universal as there is language is not a factor. The costumes, music, and choreography are fantastic and show real creativity. Can watch this many times and still find it hard to believe people can do what these people do.

no problem, but slow shipment
It took much more days to receive the product from this seller than from "amazon.ca", although the shipment fee is more expensive than "amazon.ca". Read more

Alegria (Live in Sidney) - Very well done!
We recently watched La Nouba at Orlando, FL. It was our first live - Cirque du Soleil. We watched a documentary on PBS and it wasn't that impressive. Read more

Cirque du Soleil presents Alegria
O.K. I love it.
Quidam is my favorite Cirque DVD with Alegria a close second. Varekai I love but the sound is horrible. Read more

Haunting
While Cirque de Soleil is amazing to see on stage, there are some things that can be done on film that don't make it on stage. Read more

A great performance, but...
This was a good DVD release. While not having as many features as Varekaki, they tried to put some good stuff on the disc.
As far as the show goes, it was so-so. Read more
