SINGAPORE, 10 FEBRUARY, 2026 – Cirque du Soleil’s globally acclaimed Big Top production, KOOZA, presented by Mast International, a long-standing Cirque du Soleil partner since 2007, together with Lushington Entertainments, has officially opened doors in Singapore to a strong audience response.

The opening weekend drew near-capacity crowds, marking the start of an extended 2026 season, with the production now playing until March 29, 2026. Tickets for the performances are on sale now via the Fever and Sistic websites, while tickets for the extended season will be on sale from 13 February 2026. 

The show officially premiered on 6 February 2026 to a full-house of 2,500 spectators, bringing together invited guests, partners, and audiences eager to experience Cirque du Soleil’s signature blend of acrobatic brilliance and theatrical storytelling, setting the tone for a highly anticipated season ahead. The premiere evening also featured a glamorous red carpet positioned right outside the Big Top with artistes from the show who posed alongside other attending guests. 

Throughout its run, KOOZA will also welcome 600  guests from charitable organisations like Children-At-Risk Empowerment Association (CARE Singapore) over subsequent weekends, allowing children and families from across the community to experience the joy, imagination, and wonder of KOOZA. Sharing the magic of the circus with the wider community will be  a meaningful way to usher in the show in Singapore after its long-awaited return.

Jamieson Lindenburg, Artistic Director of KOOZA, said, “Singapore holds a special place in KOOZA’s journey. This city embraces imagination and celebrates bold creativity, that aligns perfectly with the heart of the show. To return after seven years and open our Big Top here, surrounded by such an engaged and multi-generational audience, is a powerful reminder of the magic that happens when circus, storytelling, and community come together.”

Yong Kim, Chief Executive Officer and President of Mast Entertainment SG said, “The energy at the premiere was truly electric. Seeing the Big Top come alive once again in Singapore, filled with families, devoted fans, and first-time audiences, was a powerful reminder of why KOOZA continues to resonate with audiences around the world. After an incredible journey across Asia, including Hong Kong, Seoul, and Busan, we are thrilled to witness such a strong and enthusiastic response as we begin this exciting new chapter in Singapore. The reaction from the audiences has been among the most impressive across the region, and we look forward to welcoming many more families and fans to experience this incredible show over the remaining seven weeks.”

Adam Firth, Executive Director of Lushington Entertainments said, “The positive audience reaction to the opening weekend is a testament to Singapore’s vibrant appreciation for live performance and the arts. It gives us great pleasure to add more shows and extend KOOZA’s run until 29th March 2026, allowing even more audiences to experience the magic under the Big Top.

Beyond the stage, the Big Top experience also extended to lively pre-show spaces and concession stands offering fresh popcorn and classic treats, evoking a sense of nostalgia for adults while creating moments of excitement and discovery for children and families alike.”

Ms Guo Teyi, Director, Leisure Events, Singapore Tourism Board said, “KOOZA joins the many acclaimed international productions that continue to reinforce Singapore’s reputation as a premier destination for live entertainment. We are delighted to support the return of Cirque du Soleil to Singapore as the sole Southeast Asian destination for KOOZA, bringing world-class international artistry to our vibrant events scene.
