The Story of ‘Twas the Night Before

  • The holiday season is finally here! As every year, little Isabella and her father read together A Visit from St. Nicholas, the traditional Christmas tale written by poet Clement Clarke Moore. Yet something is not quite right this year… Isabella feels she’s too old to listen to this old story she knows by heart. The magic of Christmas isn’t working. An unexpected snowstorm, however, is about to change everything…
  • The night before Christmas is Cirque du Soleil’s very first Christmas tale adaptation. This renowned troupe of artists and acrobats has reimagined the story written by Clement Clarke Moore to give it a whole new dimension. On stage, characters come to life and enchanting scenes unfold one after another!
