Cirque Cinema
The Utah Symphony presented Cirque Cinema Troupe Vertigo, a dazzling display of performers that included aerial artists, contortionists and dancers showcasing their amazing talents set to the music of film. This was one of the most unique and memorable evenings ever. With songs from Harry Potter, The Pink Panther, ET, Raider’s of the Lost Ark, Theme from Superman, Jaws and other favorite films, each performance was more entertaining than the last. The artists were truly stunning and the symphony’s live orchestrations added a true thrill to Abravanel Hall. The night will go down as one of our favorites ever. Thank you Utah Symphony.

The fusion of live music from iconic films and the mesmerizing choreography created a captivating experience. The dancers brought the music to life, enhancing the emotion and energy of each piece.
