The Cirque du Soleil has announced three dates at the First Direct Arena for its Corteo show, described as the "most enchanting" of its productions.

The spectacle will be charming and wowing audiences in its three-day stint in Leeds in June 2020, which marks the circus' 30th anniversary.

Corteo, directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca, is the vivid enacting of a clown imagining his own funeral among a festival parade and has been watched by nine million people across four continents since its premiere in April 2005.
