Following overwhelming popular demand, Cirque du Soleil’s –‘CRYSTAL’ has today announced an additional Auckland show for its forthcoming New Zealand arena tour which opens in Christchurch this Friday.

The one-of-a-kind production, Cirque du Soleil’s CRYSTAL, today announces ahead of the spectacular opening at Wolfbrook Arena in Christchurch this Friday, that an additional Auckland performance will take place at Spark Arena on Saturday 8th July at 12pm. My Ticketmaster and TEG Live members will have pre-sale access to this show from Monday 19th June at 12pm before tickets go on sale to general public on Tuesday 20th June at 2pm.

The New Zealand audience will be at the edge of their seats with Cirque du Soleil’s, jaw dropping, gravity-defying circus disciplines whilst also adding to the mix figure skating and extreme skating - two disciplines that have never been seen before in a Cirque du Soleil production.

Thrilling more than 1.9 million people worldwide since its creation in 2017, CRYSTAL artists defy gravity, skilfully manoeuvring backflips, leaps, and vaults all on ice! Adding a new element to the magic and swapping shoes for skates will be sure to thrill audiences more than ever. The show takes audiences on a whimsical journey into a vivid and imaginary world where up is down, left is right, and nothing is as it seems.
