Cirque Stratosphere

Overview

Want to escape to another, more fantastic universe? Cirque Stratosphere has taken over the Sydney Opera House's Concert Hall this summer, with flying acrobats, death-defying stunts and futuristic space age vibes.

It's been over 50 years since man landed on the moon, but our fascination with what lies beyond our stratosphere — zero gravity, black holes and UFOs — has not dwindled. And this circus is launching us into a different galaxy altogether.

From the creators of CIRCUS 1903 and The Illusionists: Direct from Broadway, which came to Sydney in 2016 and 2018 respectively, this dazzling show features Olympic-standard acrobats and gymnasts. So, expect some jaw-dropping spectacles.

From hoop dives at great heights to impressive stunts on roller skates, plus hypnotic LED ring rotations and a Wheel of Death, this circus is one that defies Earth's limitations. Throw everything Isaac Newton taught you out the window.
