Cirque Du Soleil on transforming the Royal Albert Hall for Corteo

www.cirquefascination.com: With Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo opening tomorrow, 9 January, at the Royal Albert Hall, its technical director Gerard Edwards-Webb discusses how and why his team completely redesigned the layout of the venue for the show. Since Queen Victoria opened the Royal Albert Hall in 1871 you could be forgiven for thinking the venue has seen it all. It has hosted everything from Jimi Hendrix to The Proms, Sumu wrestling to an indoor marathon, but it has never been transformed in the way that Cirque du Soleil has for its production Corteo.
