A night at the Circus Krone, Munich

Carlo and I just returned from the circus! Ever since we arrived in Munich I had been driving past the winter arena of the Circus Krone not far from our apartment. Finally, last week the shows were set to begin again and I reserved two tickets. Yesterday was opening night, tonight the second day of performances! Elephants, tigers, horses, clowns, jugglers to unbelievable trapeze artistst...we saw it ALL!! What a great show!
Once we arrived to pick up our tickets, which were at the very back, the lady at the ticket counter started selling the leftover seats closer to the arena. (Tickets reserved but not picked up in time). We were able to get two tickets in the middle between the entrance and the exit. The program was amazing, varied and really fun.
Here a few shots of the same artists we saw tonight. (Taken from their website, as we forgot the camera at home!)


This guy was great. Johnny Fischer in his "Lucky Luke" performance with trained cats, goats and even chickens!


Cesar Dias from Portugal had a funny act based on sound effects!


This trapeze troop from russia was breathtaking! "White birds" as they called themselves - gave us sweaty palms - watching their acrobatics in high air. I think Carlo really liked them.





The horse shows were beautifully choreographed symphonies of black and white. At one point there were 8 black frisian stallions and 12 white arab stallions in the arena...
