Their costumes are very colorful & creative, setting a festive atmosphere. Celine Dion s A New Day. a resident show in Las Vegas & produced by Franco Dragone, was inspired by Cirque du Soleil.

Consumer DVD Review

After seeing this collection of DVDs I so want to see the show & see the REAL thing. I very much enjoyed watching these films yet i would advise people that they are very deep & not what you expect from you average circus. In all it is incredibly dramatic & overpowering in many ways to the audience. Some things are unclear still after watching it 3 or 4 times. This collection is of good variety & much better than the other collection also availible. Dralion is a joy to watch with some amazing acts. Journey of Man is too, entertaining, featuring some amazing acts though insted of being performed in the traditional ring performed in various places around the globe. A Baroque Odysey is also entertaining though more of a documentary that takes you behind the scenes & lets you in on the making of Cirque Du Soleil that takes you back some years. The final one, Varekai is probably the worst of the lot & one that is very hard to understand. Through the misunderstanding of it, it does become boring & hard to bear with. However out out of four this is something one has to cope with. I think it is worth the money & good enough to watch again & again. If you do decide to buy this product you wont be disappointed & i hope you enjoy it. The DVD will play & play because - THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
