Cirque Du Soleil Announces Return to Baltimore with Holiday Show
Cirque du Soleil, the world-renowned entertainment group known for its thrilling acrobatics and stunning visual effects, has announced its return to Baltimore for the first time since 2019. The group will perform a holiday-themed show called Twas the Night Before at the Hippodrome Theatre in November 2023.
The show, inspired by the classic poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” features a cast of over 30 performers who will take audiences on a magical journey through the night before Christmas. The production includes aerial acrobatics, contortion, and other breathtaking feats of physical prowess, all set against a stunning backdrop of festive holiday scenery.
According to Broadway World, the Baltimore engagement of ‘Twas the Night Before is highly exclusive, with only a limited number of performances scheduled. This makes it a must-see event for fans of Cirque du Soleil and holiday-themed entertainment.
Challenges for Cirque Du Soleil’s Return
The return to Baltimore is part of a larger revival effort for Cirque du Soleil, which has faced significant challenges in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The group was forced to suspend all performances for over a year due to safety concerns and financial difficulties.
However, the company’s new owners have injected $375 million into the relaunch and resumed operations in China and Mexico. Cirque du Soleil has also signed extensions for five of its Vegas shows, including four at the Bellagio and one at the Luxor.
Despite these positive developments, the revival effort has not been without its challenges. As The New York Times reported, Cirque du Soleil faces a difficult road ahead as it attempts to regain its footing in a post-pandemic world. The group’s return to Baltimore and other U.S. cities will be closely watched as a bellwether for the future of live entertainment.
In the meantime, fans of Cirque du Soleil can look forward to an unforgettable holiday experience when ‘Twas the Night Before comes to Baltimore in November. Tickets are available now through the Hippodrome Theatre box office and online ticketing sites.
