Overall, very good! April 7, 2009

Very good performances, however, as in a lot of these circus videos, the
lighting could be better (I think)! BB
A great performance, but... October 19, 2003

This was a good DVD release. While not having as many features as Varekaki, they tried to put some good stuff on the disc. As far as the show goes, it was so-so. I have seen every Cirque show many times, some in person, some on video. Quidam is my favorite, with Varekai and Dralion tied for a close second. It was nice to see the show finally, as I have only seen the story-movie Alegria, and it ties in really nicely once you've seen the cirque show. Personally, I think threre's a LOT of wasted time on this one. There are less show acts, and more theatrical stuff. Too many clown acts, and drawn out boredom (much better than some of the older ones, but still not up to par with the more current shows). I think the Fast Tracks (long trampolines) and the Russian Bars are the best parts of this show.

While Cirque de Soleil is amazing to see on stage, there are some things that can be done on film that don't make it on stage. This is not just a performance of incredible acrobatics, but a story filled with wonder, tragedy and love. The music will haunt you for days afterward, and the feelings stirred in your heart will bring more life into your days.
good but not the best March 17, 2007

I had seen alegria on bravo about 2 years ago, but had not caught the show from the beginning, overall it was a really good performance, my only complaint was the lead singer is good, but i feel she attempted to sing in a style at times her voice was not up to the challenge for, other than that "Kudos" to Cirque for another brilliant and mesmerizing performance.

Cirque du Soleil is always a joy to watch, but I do have a few problems of the DVD of Alegria. A couple of the acts kind of drag on a bit, particularly the fire twirler and the trapeze artists. The ringleader character annoyed the you know what out of me. I do like the music in this show a lot, and would like to get the soundtrack.
Some of the camera angles were wierd, and would cut away from the act and zero in on the audience or sideline performers at the worst times!
Amazing acts include the hula hoops, the strong man and the contortionist! I also like the sad clown.
