More Seats Added to Cirque du Soleil Show

Due to popular demand, new seats have been added for both performances to the Pensacola tour stop of Saltimbanco at the Pensacola Bay Center, boosting the arena capacity to almost 4,000 seats per show. Saltimbanco will perform two shows only, November 7 and 8 at 7:30pm. Tickets are available online at www.cirquedusoleil.com/saltimbanco, by calling 1-800-745-3000, or at Pensacola Bay Center Box Office, 432-0800.

Saltimbanco is Cirque du Soleil’s longest-running touring show and has performed since 1992 to wide-spread acclaim to sell-out audiences all around the world for more than 13 million enthusiastic fans.

Saltimbanco —from the Italian “saltare in banco,” which literally means “to jump on a bench”—explores the urban experience in all its myriad forms: the people who live there, their idiosyncrasies and likenesses, families and groups, the hustle and bustle of the street and the towering heights of skyscrapers. A signature show, it is inspired by the urban fabric of the metropolis and its colourful inhabitants. Decidedly baroque in its visual vocabulary, the show’s eclectic cast of characters draws spectators into a fanciful, dreamlike world, an imaginary city where diversity is a cause for hope.
