Doha, Qatar: Cirque du Soleil will bring one of its most celebrated productions to Qatar in April for eight unforgettable performances. 

A fan favourite that has captivated audiences worldwide, Corteo will take place at Qatar National Convention Center from April 8-13, 2026. 

Corteo, which means 'cortege' in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth. The clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels. 

The music, by turns lyrical and playful, carries Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality.

Tickets, starting at QR175 , are on sale now on Platinumlist.
