WATCH: Cirque Du Soleil prepare for 2024 Royal Albert Hall stint performing its iconic Alegria production

Cirque Du Soleil is set to take over the Royal Albert Hall this month as its acrobatic performers take to the stage in front of London audiences. The touring show is set to make a stop in the capital this month as they perform their iconic production, Alegria: In a New Light. 

The captivating acrobatic performers will start their limited London season at the Royal Albert Hall next Thursday (January 11). Their residency at the venue will continue until early March.

Alegria: In a New Light show, which has a Grammy-nominated soundtrack, transports audiences to a mystical world as they watch a once-glorious kingdom battle the old order and the youth's desire to change. Of course, the production's story is told through mesmerising acrobatics, which is brought to life by Cirque Du Soleil's vibrant sets and costumes.

Ahead of Cirque Du Soleil's opening night next week, we went backstage at the Royal Albert Hall and got a sneak peek of the production's crazy acrobatic rehearsals and caught up with some of the Cirque Du Soleil performers and others who help the show run behind the scenes.

One of the show's trapeze artist's Ahmed Tuniziani who has been trapizing since he was five years old, admitted performing at London's Royal Albert Hall was a "dream come true" for him. 

He said: "It's such an amazing place. There is such a history in this place. So for us performers, all the greatest performers have been here and it kind of makes you feel like a great one too."

Francis Jalbert, senior media member for Cirque Du Soleil, also shared his excitement about the show taking over the familiar London venue.

He said: "When you step into the Royal Albert Hall, you feel the history, and there is something grand about this auditorium."
