Win A Family 4-Pack To Opening Night Of Cirque Du Soleil’s Corteo!
Disclosure, I was provided with tickets to the show in exchange for this post.
It wasn’t until my daughter started gymnastics a few years ago that I could truly appreciate the beauty and difficulty of a Cirque Du Soleil show. I’m sure that sounds ridiculous because of course it’s difficult to do what they do, but after seeing my daughter break her arm on a relatively common gymnastics move, I can’t imagine the skill and concentration it must take to fly through the air, gripping only a piece of metal or cloth the way the Cirque performers do!
In fact, up until recently, I thought there were open tryouts for Cirque Du Soleil and had even started putting together my audition portfolio. As it turns out, being really good at softball and a decent all around athlete in your youth does not qualify you for Cirque fame… Oh well, I’m sure I’ll be able to use these photos for something else down the road.
While a career in acrobatics may not be in my future, I will certainly be attending the upcoming Cirque Du Soleil show, Corteo, with my family when it comes to my hometown of Ottawa from June 27 to July 1 at the Canadian Tire Centre this summer. To celebrate it’s arrival, I want you to be able to enjoy the show, too!! If you’d like to win a Family 4-Pack of tickets to opening night of the show in Ottawa, simply fill out as many entries as you’d like on the Rafflecopter form below and I’ll choose a winner in a couple weeks!
CORTEO brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth. You can get a sneak peek of the show by checking out this Cirque Du Soleil’s Corteo Trailer!
If this is your first time attending a Cirque Du Soleil show, I am so excited for you and promise you will be counting the minutes until they return again! Hope to see you there!!
I adore the music and acrobatics!
I got to see a few. What i love about them is all the hard work they do. It doesn’t matter where you are seating cause there is always something amazing to look at. I could probably go see the same one 5 times and still see new things. This time I would love to bring my kids and show them the joy of a Cirque du Soleil.
I went once years ago and was just amazed! I can’t wait to go again!
I’ve been lucky enough to see a few Cirque shows (albeit many many years ago!!). I loved them! Everything is meticulous, the routines, the costumes, and the music. It is visual artistry – a feast for the eyes!
I’ve never been to cirque de soleil, but I’ve heard it’s an amazing show to see.
I saw one years ago in Calgary. I love how unique the shows are.
I’ve never seen a show but would love nothing more than to bring my little gymnasts and see the awe on their faces.
I’ve been lucky enough to see 3 different Cirque shows. I’d love to see this one! Every one is so unique.
Yes, I have seen a Cirque show before! I get mesmerized by the acrobatics!
Would love to take my kids to cirque du soleil

Would love to attend. Vegas in Ottawa:)
Breathtaking performances. Truly amazing.
My husband and I saw Zumanity while we were in Vegas a couple of years ago. Such an amazing show!! My kids were jealous that we got to see a Cirque show and would absolutely love this! Thanks for the chance!
My husband and I have been to a few Cirque shows and loved them. We haven’t had the opportunity to bring our 7 year olds yet and that would be terrific. Better yet, the show is in Ottawa and we are long overdue to visit friends and family in Ottawa!!! What a great way to celebrate the end of a school year!
I’ve been to a Cirque performance before but my family hasn’t.
I’d LOVE for my entire family to experience this show.
Thanks for the chance!

I took my daughter to see a Cirque Du Soleil show years ago because she’s a dancer and they have several numbers with acrobatics and dance combined which caught her attention. They keep you wanting more. Would be amazing to go see another show.

Moving to Ottawa so this would be a perfect way to get over home sickness….and to continue dreaming about leaving my day job to become a famous acrobat! Hope you and your family are well Chris!

Yes! I’ve seen one of the shows in Vancouver BC 🙂
I went to a Cirque show (Mystere) in Vegas a few summers ago. I had always wanted to see Cirque de Soleil and I was not disappointed. The acrobatics were awesome. My daughter has asked to see the Corteo show and I would love to take her.
We saw the Ovo one, it was amazing! I wish tickets were more reasonable though…
I’ve never seen a show!
Thanks for this chance!
Very cool.
I have never been but it seems like the most amazing experience ever.
I have never been, but I would be thrilled to go! 🙂
I saw a Cirque du Soleil show when I was a kid and I loved it. It’s such a beautiful set and costumes are amazing. I’d love to see one again.

That leotard is fantastic!
Thank you, sir!
I’ve never seen a cirque show, but I’ve always wanted to. What they do is amazing!

I loved watching the aerials! I went to see the Michael Jackson one.
I’ve been to a few shows in Vegas many many years ago!!
I’ve never been. Would be so fun to go with my little family.
I would love to see Cirque. It looks amazing and what they do is hard to believe it is real.
I love cirque de soleil. i caught a show in ottawa. the music, costumes, and acrobatics were mesmerizing. I would love to experience this again.
Ive seen one Cirque du Soleil show and I was really disappointed. So was my husband (who saw another show before and LOVED it)
Cirque de soleil is so creative. It is a magical experience for the young and old. I would love for the whole family to experience it.
I saw a show years ago, with my daughter in a snuggly. She us now 12, and obviously doesn’t remember. Her brother didn’t even exist yet. I would love to be able to visit that giant tent again with my Girlchild, Boychild and Manchild. Thank you for the opportunity. I hope that you wear your orange spotty tights when you go!
Cirque du Soleil never fails to impress. We don’t go every year, but this is something we have always enjoyed as a family. My parents have never been to a show and I’d love to be able to take them to this one!
We’ve never been to a cirque du soleil show. We’ve been waiting until kids are slightly older to take them to Montreal to see the show. It’s great that they’re coming to Ottawa!
I’ve seen a Cirque show in the past and it was amazing! I’d love to take my kids again!
Haven’t seen a show yet as the tickets are a bit pricey but would like to see the magical performances.
I have NEVER seen Cirque (yet)!!! They’re productions look so magical and creative…
I’ve seen several Cirque Du Soleil shows. The shows deliver a beautiful, artistic story with feats of athleticism that make it impossible to look away, I love it.
I’ve never seen a show before, but I would be excited to see the acrobatics.
No, I have not seen a Cirque Du Soleil show before.
