About Escenario Puerta del Angel at Casa de Campo Fairgrounds

  • Pricing options: Seats toward the sides tend to be more affordable, while seats in the Center subsections will give you the clearest views of the stage.

Since its inception in the '80s, Cirque du Soleil has evolved into a global phenomenon with simultaneous shows in several major cities. Yet, the high-flying troupe has not forgotten its roots, most beautifully represented in a signature tent that follows them from city to city and takes a week to erect before each show.

Sometimes, however, the tent puts the gear in the park for a while, making a semi-permanent home from which to showcase the troupe's daring acts. In Madrid, Cirque du Soleil has found a home in Casa de Campo, the city's largest public park. It was originally built exclusively for nobility in the 16th century before opening to the public in 1931. Since then, the space has been used for trade fairs and conventions, art and history exhibitions, competitions, and entertainment events.

  • Style: Cirque du Soleil's tents use old-school circus aesthetics to craft a fun and nostalgic exterior.
  • Interior: The inside of the tent generally uses bleacher-style seating that is curved around the stage and raked to allow clearer sightlines.
  • Technological marvel: The tents are technological works of art that take a massive crew a whole week to set up. They are designed with safety at the forefront and are carefully set up to accommodate each show's unique stunts.
