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. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music, by turns lyrical and playful, carries Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality. | | | Product Details: | | | Director:

 Outstanding Cirque du Soleil selection!!!Nov 22, 2008
One of the better Cirque du Soleil performances. If you like their stuff, I'd adsvise buying it. And the Blu-Ray version is visually amazing. I don't have the whole 5.1 or 7.1 setup...so I can't really comment on that. But all the Blu-Rays I've watched do sound a lot crisper and clearer even with just my TV speakers!

High video and audio quality but weak on what makes Cirque Du Soleil specialSep 26, 2008
The thing I enjoy most about my collection of Cirque Du Soleil DVDs is the magnificent music and how well it complements the marvelous circus acts. Cotero, though, just didn't come through. Only two acts really reached the heights I expect of Cirque Du Soleil. The rest seemed to be composed of angels floating around acting heavenly. The audience seemed to agree with mostly polite applause throughout the show.
More pragmatically, I was really annoyed by Japanese only subtitles. The specifications say the audio is in English, but the lyrics most definitely are not, and the spoken English was heavily accented making it difficult for me to understand. It looks like the Blu-Ray was made for the Japanese market and then sold on the American market without any effort spent to upgrade it. I would love to know what they are singing about! Every DVD of theirs I have does not have an English translation of the lyrics.
Audio and video quality were top notch, but Cotero isn't going to be one of my favorites.

Great transfer, worth the time.Sep 21, 2008
Another one of those Blu presentations that had the customers watching for upwards of 20 minutes in the store. I was worried about how the grain/darklit features would look on the display, which in turn would have people asking that dreaded First Knight question of "are all the BDs that bad?"...but after watching the entire presentation several times on a standard/non-tweaked setting LCD - I was surprised how great it looked.
The colors come thru vibrantly and contrast nicely with all of the dark backgrounds. The horse scenes and golf tee sequence look outstanding for testing line clarity with bright colors. The multi-color light/reflection sequences looked great and people were commenting often on how great the color looked for an indoor presentation.
The sounds were adequate for a compressed channel display - and of course came through beautifully on a 5 channel set I tried later. Even on the plasma display I was pleased with how the darks/grays looked.
The special features are all from the DVD except for the subs (I believe) as they are shown in 12 languages. The BD disclaims that the overall grain structure was retained for this presentation, but I think the whole performance looked great in HD and I am not sure why another reviewer had color problems, they looked perfect across the board.
