HFVS Weekly Giveaway: Tickets to Saltimbanco
Cirque du Soleil: Saltimbanco (tickets)
Chinese Poles performance at Saltimbanco
We’re very excited to be able to offer a family 4-pack to see Saltimbanco, the very first “classic” Cirque du Soleil touring show to be presented in Amherst at the Mullins Center from September 3 to 7 inclusively. – Tickets range from $40 to $95 for adult and $32 to $76 for children (12 years old & under). Here’s your chance to win 4 free tickets to see this amazing show on the premiere night, September 3rd at 7:30pm.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Saltimbanco—from the Italian “saltare in banco,” which literally means “to jump on a bench”—explores the urban experience in all its myriad forms: the people who live there, their idiosyncrasies and likenesses, families and groups, the hustle and bustle of the street and the towering heights of skyscrapers. Between whirlwind and lull, prowess and poetry, Saltimbanco takes spectators on an allegorical and acrobatic journey into the heart of the city.
Saltimbanco belongs to the emblematic style of Cirque du Soleil – a signature Cirque du Soleil show with a style that borrows from theatre, dance and music and where spectacular costumes, lighting and make-up take pride of place. The current cast of 49 artists, 15 of whom were part of the show’s original big top tour, hails from Canada and 20 other countries.
Saltimbanco is a characteristic Cirque du Soleil show inspired by the urban fabric of the metropolis and its colorful inhabitants. Decidedly baroque in its visual vocabulary, the show’s eclectic cast of characters draws spectators into a fanciful, dreamlike world, an imaginary city where diversity is a cause for hope.
Full of colour, amusement and amazement, Saltimbanco is a fun show for the whole family to enjoy, a great outing for everyone!

My family here in Easthampton, MA would love to see the show! It would be our first time seeing Cirque du Soleil. Maybe it’ll inspire us to run away with the circus!
Many years ago I saw very early manifestation of Cique du Soleil but I still get a rush remembering what I saw, including the incredible emotion one performer showed in her face. Wouldn’t I love to take my 3 kids…And lucky you for acquiring tickets!
We’ve been to the Cirque twice before, and would love to go again. Let’s show the love for Cummington, MA.
of course we want to go! Chesterfield (MA) in da house.
We live in Shelburne Falls and agonized all summer long on whether or not to foot the bill for the whole family to go, but decided it was too far out of our league.
We’re big circus fans~~ hope we can go!
Oh Boy.. I would love to go to Cirque! I was debated buying tixs for my husbands birthday, Sept 3, but the price for our family to go was too steep! I will keep my fingers crossed and good luck to all that enter.
