Cirque du Soleil returns to London to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its internationally acclaimed classic Alegría with the European Premiere engagement of its revival production Alegría – In A New Light, from 11 January – March 3 at the Royal Albert Hall. In anticipation of this limited series of performances, Cirque du Soleil and founder Guy Laliberté have teamed up to give a new life to the popular Alegría theme song. The EP Alegría: Remixes by Guy Laliberté is now available on several digital platforms, under the Frooogs™ Records music label.
The EP Alegría remixes is the start of a musical collaboration between Guy Laliberté and Cirque du Soleil that will enable Frooogs Records to reinvent the music of several iconic Cirque du Soleil shows and bring it to a whole new generation. Several projects are underway, including remixes of several songs by Guy Laliberté himself, by Montreal DJ artists and by international DJs.
Still to date the most famous Cirque song, the original 1994 recording of Alegría was featured for 65 consecutive weeks on the Billboard World Music Chart upon its release and has been listened to more than 24.9M times on Spotify and 6.8M on YouTube. Alegría’s remix EP by Guy Laliberté features several versions of the famous song by original composer René Dupéré with lyrics by Claude Amesse, Franco Dragone and Manuel Tadros, including the original, a Latin-inspired one, as well as a melodic electronic version, in addition to the funky version featuring Montreal-based singer Garou.
Tickets to performances of Alegría – In A New Light from 11 January – 3 March 2024 at the Royal Albert Hall are now available online at cirquedusoleil.com/alegria.
