 Don't buy this Cirque du (School)!Sep 06, 2005
I love Cirque du Soleil, but this is an amateur Cirque at best.
I've travelled to LA (Saltimbanco) and LV ('O') to see them and have bought many of their shows on DVD, most of which I love. I watch them with my 3 year old daughter who adores them despite the fact that they don't have animals and despite the fact that the Cirque is predominantly for an adult audience. She nevertheless can tell me, by title which one she wants to watch and we agree that Saltimbanco, Allegria and Quidam are our favourites. So when I popped this one into the machine you can't imagine our disappointment. Pathetic and amateurish and a DVD which should never be seen by anyone, let alone sold to an audience. It seems like a few school kids playing Cirque in a cheap school hall environment, there is NONE of that Cirque magic. Don't waste (a lot of) money, rather buy one of the previously mentioned and you won't be disappointed.

 Uhm...Mar 16, 2004
...I actually saw a Canadian television version of this, but as far as I know, it had all the same stunts. It was just disappointing. The costumes, which I normally love to gape at, weren't as fantastic as I remember, and the clowns couldn't even be called funny. The dancer sort of MC of the performance was charismatic, but she didn't add much depth to anything. This is NOT worth the price. Rent it borrow it steal it, just don't pay this much for it.

 You people need to wisen upNov 27, 2002
Its easy to tell who the real CIRQUE fans are. I am 30 yrs old now, but saw Cirque in Cali. in 1987 when they first started. A live, small, big-top show on the Santa-monica pier. This Vegas razzle dazzle Cirque is not better. the old show is best. youd watch the show and actually get goose bumps. grow up. this is the best of all of em.

Open the door into dreamland...Apr 19, 2002
I am a huge Cirque du Soleil fan. We went to see onstage this the year I was born, and although I was too young to remember much, I have always remembered the glorious entrance of the first actor. From the costumery to the music, this is Cirque's greatest production. This is, has been, and will always be my favorite video-for after all, who can resist the power of imagination?

Amazingly disappointingNov 22, 2001
I'm a big Cirque du Soleil fan and decided to buy everything available on DVD after watching the previous releases, Quidam and Drallion. This, along with a few others that have been recently released, turned out to be a big disappointment. I couldn't enjoy a single minute of this the extremely outdated and kitsch show. The music is terrible. Everything has a ridiculous 80s edge that completely kills any aesthetic qualities that I'd associated with CdS. Before I've seen this I had thought that all of their shows were timeless. Apparently, the earlier ones are not. I wouldn't even rate this favourably as an ordinary, low quality and low budget circus. Plus the DVD is very short and doesn't have any extras. Considering its claimed historical importance (?) perhaps it would be worth the price if it had been bundled with Baroque Odyssey.
