My doctor recently suggested that I should cut down on cheese. This may have stopped me having vivid dreams, but there is more than enough of a dreamlike quality to this Cirque du Soleil spectacular to keep me going for the rest of 2022.
Actually ‘spectacular’ is not quite right this time. After the pandemic threatened the future of the globe-straddling modern circus company, it is defiantly back, but with a modest affair here. Corteo, first staged in 2005 though never in the UK, is at the 02 rather than the usual Royal Albert Hall. Some levels are closed however, lending this a welcome intimacy missing from their Kensington visits.
