Cirque du Soleil Alegría: Valencia is a theatrical circus production performing under the Big Top in Valencia. First created in 1994, Alegría is one of Cirque du Soleil's longest-running productions and has played to over 14 million people across more than 255 cities. This revival is directed by Jean-Guy Legault, with music composed by René Dupéré, costumes by Dominique Lemieux, and lighting design by Mikki Kunttu. The show is set in a kingdom without a ruler, where the tension between old order and new possibility plays out through acrobatics, choreography, and live music.

Performers move through a programme of aerial acts, contortion, clowning, and large-scale group sequences, all framed by Lemieux's surreal costume work and Kunttu's lighting. The narrative follows jesters, rebels, and aristocrats as themes of power, hope, and renewal unfold across the stage. Tickets are available for multiple performance dates during the Valencia engagement, with seating options across the Big Top. For more things to do in Valencia, the city offers a wide range of cultural and entertainment options alongside this limited run.
