Cirque du Soleil Corteo
Cirque Du Soleil came to Perth and graced RAC Arena with their latest show, Corteo, in August 2025. Bringing a mix of fun, comedy and spontaneity, Corteo delighted audiences and left them excited for Cirque Du Soleil’s next visit.
The theme of Corteo is based on Mauro, a clown dreaming of his funeral and the carnival atmosphere surrounding it. This joyous procession, which blends artistic grace with acrobatic power, brings audiences into a world of theatrical fun, comedy, and spontaneity between heaven and earth.
Corteo blends and contrasts grandiosity and intimacy, silliness and tragedy, and the beauty of perfection with the charm of imperfection. In addition to keeping audiences transfixed and entertained, it gives them something to think about.
Cirque Du Soleil never fails to dazzle and it’s always a pleasure to host one of their amazing shows at RAC Arena.
Brian Cox Emergence Tour 2026
Professor Brian Cox brought his latest world tour, Emergence, to RAC Arena in 2026. Emergence brings together cosmology, biology, philosophy and history in a thought-provoking show that leaves audiences wanting more.
This show delves into the intricate foundations of the universe and the natural laws that helped to sculpt it. The rivers and flows of galaxies, Earth’s interlinked ecosystems, the structures of the human brain, black holes, and snowflakes are all woven together expertly to make a grander point about our world.
Professor Brian Cox has been a mainstay of science communication over the last few decades. He has appeared in and produced a variety of landmark science programs for BBC radio and television, including the Peabody-winning Wonders of the Solar System to the world-wide hit series The Planets.
There was something for everyone to enjoy at Emergence and everyone is eagerly awaiting Professor Brian Cox’s exciting next production.
