Title: Totally Engrossing Operatic,Dramatic,Fantastic
Review: CORTEO is not greatly related to the other Cirque shows in that the Drama,use of dramatically rich deep tones and the magnificent musical score could (and have done so to me)take you back in time to the richness of past centuries. Corteo involves the complete cast for most of the peformance as they either play instruments or sing in chorus. Yes, there are lovely and clever circus performances by some of the best artistes around, but they seem to me to take second place, although incorporate perfectly,into this magnificent performance.Not one for the lighthearted La Nouba, Saltimbanco, Varekai lovers, but one which is so far above and beyond all the other Cirques', a treasure, a complete immersion in sound and sight. Such a pity it could not be Rated "OUT OF THIS WORLD" as it certainly deserves, and yes, I will watch it again tomorrow--I'm totally hooked on Corteo.

Title: My Absolute Favorite!
Review: I was fortunate to have seen this show live--not once, but twice--last fall when it was in Minneapolis. Of all the Cirque du Soleil shows I've seen live and on DVD this is by far my all time favorite show! The music is absolutely gorgeous, the angels' costumes are beautiful and the humor is wonderful. It is truly a celebration of a clown's life. Needless to say, I highly recommend adding the DVD to your Cirque du Soleil collection--and by all means go see the show live if it comes to your city!

Title: Good show, odd choice for only Blu-Ray
Review: Corteo is not what you might first expect from Cirque Du Soleil. While there are some of the same great trademark theatrics and acrobatics, this one tells much more of a story than the rest. The story is quite well told of a clown who dreams of his own funeral. The part of the clown is acted quite well, and the scenes were very captivating.Overall, this is not my favorite Cirque Du Soleil performance as it lacks some of the "Oooh and Ahh" factor of some of the others. (This makes me wonder why Corteo is the only one available on Blu-Ray) Nonetheless, it was a very entertaining watch that Cirque fans will surely enjoy.

Title: cirque du soleil shows
Review: Corteo is great, on par with Allegria, absolutly mindblowing, is there no limit that the trapezists, acrobats can do ? The music, as in all the shows is superb, a most integral part of the performance. It stands up very well on its own, just listening to it.In another word : MAGNIFIQUE !

Title: review of Corteo
Review: Cirque Du Soleil - CorteoThis video was good but there are others that are better. There was a lot of jabbering in French that one could not understand altho there was English too. There are some excellent acts in it as usual but sometimes it was a bit slow moving. It's kind of different but is a fairly good addition to a collection of Cirque DVDs.

Title:
Review: From its very inception, Cirque Du Soliel has aspired to a constellation of performers whose sole objective is to delight people with their wonderful circuses and shows. So when my older son, recommended that the younger one see Corteo, I promptly clicked the order button, pleased that now even my 9-year old was ready with his recommendations. Corteo is simply awe-inspiring. It is the tale of a clown who dreams that he is dead and finds himself presiding over his own funeral. The setting is complete with fairies and animals and musicians. The entire exercise is about amazing acrobats, sensational stunts, and stylish swings. It's all fun fantasy. Cirque Du Soliel has several DVDs to its credit but this a first for director Daniele Finza Pasca is the latest and without a doubt, it's finest. Sit the kids down with it.
