First premiered in 1994, Alegría has become one of Cirque du Soleil's most beloved shows, and has now captivated more than 14 million spectators in 255 cities across 40 countries in more than 19 years of touring. Its Grammy-nominated soundtrack, which included the iconic song of the same name, remains Cirque du Soleil's best-selling and most-played album to date.

In 2019, coinciding with the celebration of its 25th anniversary, Alegria was revived in Montreal in a completely new light. Revitalised by a cast of 53 acrobats, clowns, musicians and singers, the show is an immersive experience that transports audiences into a mystical world peppered with visual poetry and an acrobatic extravaganza. The show can be enjoyed in Malaga city from 31 May to 30 June.
