Fans of intrigue, wonder, excitement and acrobatics are in for a pleasant surprise as Cirque du Soleil is making its way back to the Royal Albert Hall. The show will form the European debut of the Luzia performance and be directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, taking inspiration from its Spanish namesake of light, spirit, and rain.
