Achievements
Cirque du Soleil has reached heights beyond anyone’s wildest dreams — perhaps even its founder’s. Since its creation in 1984, Cirque has produced 15 shows, 10 of which are still going strong today, and has been applauded by more than 40 million spectators worldwide. In the early 1990s, Cirque du Soleil began securing strategic partnerships with MGM Mirage in Las Vegas and the Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando.
Cirque du Soleil has garnered international honors for its artistic and business achievements, including Emmy® awards, Felix and Gemini awards, Drama Desk awards, and Clown d’Argent awards from the Monte Carlo Circus Festival. In 1986, Cirque du Soleil ventured into television and recording for the first time, and its commitment has paid off handsomely. Audiovisual works produced by Cirque du Soleil’s multimedia division have received more than 20 awards and distinctions.
