Cirque du Soleil announces additional ticketing points in Souq Waqif and Lagoona Mall Doha, June 26th, 2012: All set to bring one of the most energetic and colorful international live performances to Qatar this summer, Cirque du Soleil, the world renowned entertainment group, officially announced new points of sale for tickets, Souq Waqif and Lagoona Mall. Almost 13,000 tickets – including all of the VVIP section seats – have been sold since Cirque du Soleil recently announced the debut of its vibrant signature show, Saltimbanco, in Qatar. The thrilling, action-packed performance is scheduled to run from July 4th – 7th, 2012, at Aspire Dome in Doha. In addition to Souq Waqif and Lagoona Mall, fans can purchase tickets through Virgin Megastores at Landmark Mall and online at www.cirquedusoleil.qa or www.virginmegastore.me. Ticket prices vary from 1100QAR to 130QAR with premium tickets also available. Saltimbanco Company Manager, Chris May, said “Saltimbanco has been exploring new territories around the world for the past five years, and now, we are extremely excited to be in the Middle East for our first visit ever in Qatar. An arena show of this magnitude isn’t common in the GCC area, and the Aspire Dome in Doha presents an ideal platform for Saltimbanco.” “Ticket sales for Saltimbanco have been outstanding and if tickets sales continue at this rate we may look to increasing the number of shows; however we urge fans to purchase tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment," he said. Saltimbanco is a brilliant combination of seemingly impossible balancing, jumping and spinning acts – whether it is during the Chinese Poles or Russian Swing, the gravity-defying Bungees and Trapeze, the crowd-pleasing Juggling and Contortion, or the celebrated and very unique clowns, Saltimbanco seldom ceases to surprise the audience. Technical expertise and extravagant design are woven together with uplifting spectacular costumes, amazing lighting, humour and enchanting music, complemented with magical sets. Full of colours, amusement and amazement, Saltimbanco is a fun extravaganza for the whole family to enjoy. ILQ News
