Cirque du Soleil’s Zarkana at the Radio City Music Hall NYC Starting at $65

Gilt City is offering tickets to Zarkana from Cirque du Soleil at Radio City Music Hall for starting at $65 for a limited time. There are four option to choose from. Seats is available in mezzanine, orchestra, prime, and premium. Zarkana performs at least five days every week and Groupon buyers can choose any show from June 20 to July 6, 2012. Limit 8 per person. Must purchase together to sit together.

Cirque du Soleil combines stunning acrobatics, live music, surreal costumes, and a profusion of imagination for riveting spectacles such as Zarkana, a surrealist rock opera that lures guests into an otherworldly realm. The story follows Zark, a magician who has lost his powers of illusion, as he searches for his misplaced girlfriend and invisible car keys. Trapeze artists and acrobats fly through the air as he dodges a slithering snake-woman and a spider that traps human snacks in its giant web. Projections of cascading petals and flickering flames allow viewers to make hand shadows of rabbits during the show.

Helmed by Francois Girard, creator of the award-winning film The Red Violin and director of the Canadian Opera Company’s acclaimed production of Oedipus Rex, Zarkana fuses the magic of a concert with the artistry of a theater performance. As one of the largest theaters in the world, Radio City Music Hall provides a grand frame for the performance and enough room for post-show magic carpet races.
