After a false start on ticket sales, the fans of Cirque du Soleil have the green light to get their seats for Crystal.

This latest performanc­e innovation by Canada’s superstar circus company brings acrobatics and ice into cutting edge collision. Crystal will be in full effect at CN Centre for a series of shows in April.

Presales for Crystal are on now on sale for members of Cirque Club, the fan community for the famed performanc­e company. Cirque Club membership is free and benefits includes access to advance tickets, special offers and exclusive behind-thescenes informatio­n. To join, visit www.cirqueclub.com.

Regular ticket sales go ahead on Friday at 10 a.m. via online purchase at cirqueduso­leil. com/crystal.

Show Schedule: • April 26 at 7:30 p.m. • April 27 4:00 p.m. at 7:30 p.m. • April 28 at 4:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. • April 29 at 1:30 p.m. and 5 p.m.

CN Centre and Cirque du Soleil officials called this one-ofa-kind show “a breakthrou­gh ice experience” build with the consultati­on of iconic Canadian ice star Kurt Browning.

“Artists and skaters perform acrobatics on the ice and in the air, seamlessly combining multiple discipline­s for a world class audience experience,” organizers said. “Synchroniz­ed skating, freestyle, figure, and extreme skating are featured alongside circus discipline­s such as swinging trapeze, aerial straps and hand to hand. The result is an adrenaline-packed show for the whole family that pushes the boundaries and surpasses all expectatio­ns.”

As with all Cirque du Soleil shows, the acrobatics must share the wow-factor with globally acclaimed visual effects, lighting, sound, music, costumes and narrative.
