It’s the first time in about a decade the group has performed in the City, ringmaster and owner Damian Syred told the Post yesterday.
“It’s a brand new show for our audience as we haven’t been to Goulburn in over 10 years,” he said.
“They can expect alot of international performers from nine different countries as well as our domestic animal shows with the cows, camels, geese, horses and our cute little dogs.”
Circus Royale was founded in 1971. From humble beginnings, it quickly grew in audience and reputation, prospering in the 1980s through touring to New Zealand and South East Asia There will be six shows for local audiences beginning tonight and ending on Sunday morning.
Each goes for approximately two-hours and includes class-acts including motorbike displays, slapstick humour, juggling, pony dancing and acrobatics.
Circus Royale has played to packed houses in Melbourne, Wagga Wagga and Young.
The performers, hailing from areas in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Chile, Hungary, France, the UK and Ukraine, are among the hardest working entertainers in the industry – selling popcorn, candyfloss and helping behind the scenes on top of their performance duties.
“It really is just great fun for all ages. I’d encourage people to try and get in early to book the tickets as we’ve been having sell out shows on the tour and don’t like to disappoint people,” Mr Syred said.
Ticket prices vary, from $15 for children (up to 14yrs) and from $25 for adults.
Shows start at 7pm each night, with a matinee performance on 4pm Saturday and the final show on Sunday at 11am.
Tickets will be on sale all circus days from 10am. For more information call 0410 669 253 after 10am.
