Full details

Synopsis 136 years later, the magic of Christmas continues to happen on the same stage. The Christmas Circus returns to the Coliseu dos Recreios to keep Lisbon's oldest holiday tradition alive: bringing whole families together around a show that spans generations and stays in everyone's memory, from the youngest to the oldest. Under the dome that has seen more than a century of artists pass through, acrobats, tightrope walkers, jugglers and clowns arrive from all over the world with a brand-new programme designed to surprise first-timers and move those who grew up watching the circus in this very place. With aerial acts, feats of strength and skill, humour for all ages and moments of pure fantasy, the Christmas Circus is more than a show: it is where grandparents, parents and children share the same wonder and the same laughter. Some traditions are renewed every year. This is one of them. Book your seat now and come experience Christmas where it has always happened.

Show original (Portuguese)

Sinopse 136 anos depois, a magia do Natal continua a acontecer no mesmo palco. O Circo de Natal regressa ao Coliseu dos Recreios para cumprir a mais antiga tradição da quadra em Lisboa: reunir famílias inteiras à volta de um espetáculo que atravessa gerações e fica na memória de todos, dos mais pequenos aos mais graúdos. Sob a cúpula que já viu passar mais de um século de artistas, chegam acrobatas, equilibristas, malabaristas e palhaços vindos de vários pontos do mundo, num programa novo pensado para surpreender quem vem pela primeira vez e para emocionar quem cresceu a ver o circo neste mesmo lugar. Entre números aéreos, números de força e destreza, humor para todas as idades e momentos de pura fantasia, o Circo de Natal é mais do que um espetáculo: é o lugar onde avós, pais e filhos partilham o mesmo espanto e a mesma gargalhada. Há tradições que se renovam a cada ano. Esta é uma delas. Garanta já o seu lugar e venha viver o Natal onde ele sempre aconteceu.
