This is such great news! I see advertising around Santo Domingo that they are coming in October. I wonder what the ticket prices will be like.

Awesome news, I seem to remember my sister paying ?125 for the family of four, well worth the 3 hours and after bash. Something I'm actually excited to see here. Other than when I heard the wall of death was coming to the capital, which it never did!

Fantastic!! Cant wait to see them allthough all of my circus staff want us to take them so its going to cost me a pretty penny. I have all of the Cirque du Soleil shows on DVD, but to see them live will be fantastic and a great learning experience for all my employees. A price comparison for the same tour in other countries puts ticket prices anywhere between RD$2,500 and RD$9,000.

Sorry for the "Me Too!" post, but this is really something that must be seen. I've seen them twoce on their trips through Atlanta and have enjoyed the performance a lot. If you can you must go and see them.

3 days? That makes no sense. Maybe it is a small and less impressive Cirque show. I have seen Mystere, O and Love in Vegas each multiple times and will go see Cirque in a few weeks in SP. I would love to see them in DR but will not be there for those three days. if they extend into november I will definitely go.

Official site for Dralion, shows Puerto Rico on dates before the rumored DR dates but so far nothing on DR. I could not find any official Cirque press release etc. Maybe some promotor is trying to see if they can sell enough tickets? If they can sell enough it becomes "official".

Dralion | Espect?culo de gira del Cirque du Soleil

It also appears to be the smallest Cirque show as they are doing less than a week in each city. Would still be cool to see in DR, but will pale in front of O or Love.

If it is coming we will be going.....
I can't find where or how to buy tickets.
Does Robert have any more information ?

We live on the North Coast and I have never attended a show there
I Hope that we pre pay or at least reserve seats and a Hotel...

Will be watching this thread for more information
Just a little side note, they also make all of their own props, We used to supply them certain machinery in Montreal (Their origin) i the Mid 90's

There are at least 2 but I think 3 troups of Cirque del Soleil performing around the world and although they have the same theme , they are all quite different in both content and standard ..I hope we have a good troup here

The show is called Dralion: it's in today's DR1 news

Cirque du Soleil in October
For the first time ever, a Cirque du Soleil show will take place in Santo Domingo. Their Dralion show, on tour in the United States and Puerto Rico this summer, is described as the fusion of the 3,000 year-old tradition of Chinese acrobatic arts with the Cirque du Soleil's multidisciplinary approach, and draws its inspiration from Eastern philosophy and its eternal quest for harmony between humans and nature. The show's name is derived from its two emblematic creatures: the dragon, symbolizing the East, and the lion, symbolizing the West.
The show will open at the Palacio de los Deportes. It is presented by SD Concerts from Thursday 27 October to Sunday 30 October. Tickets are RD$1,500, RD$3,000, RD$4,000, and RD$7,000.
For more on ongoing and upcoming events, see www.dr1.com/calendar

We're ready to buy tickets. Anybody else wanna go? We're thinking of the Saturday matinee.

Any word on ticket outlets?

La Sorena has spent a ton on promotion, but it's unlikely we'll be spending the RD$24,000 in the short term necessary to get their discounted tickets.
