After a triumphant world premiere at the Sydney Opera House in 2016 and wowing audiences from Los Angeles to London, producer Tim Lawson & The Works Entertainment, the maestros behind spectacles such as Le Grand Cirque and The Illusionists, bring back this blockbuster experience with even more grandeur. Teamed up with the sonic artistry of Evan Jolly and the dazzling costumes by Angela Aaron, this show is a feast for the senses.
“It is wonderful to be collaborating again with the Sydney Opera House to present the world’s best family entertainment for our 10th summer season,” says Circus 1903 Producer, Tim Lawson. “With the show having enjoyed huge international success, we are thrilled to bring this spectacle back to Sydney, showcasing all the thrills of a grand big top circus in the comfort of one of the world’s most iconic venues.”
