People’s Circus Theatre returns to CCM with their world premiere of The Nightingale from June 6 - 22

In the forest on the outskirts of a small town, there lives a magical Nightingale whose song can stir even the hardest of hearts. When the Emperor learns of this rare creature, he is determined to capture her!

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale, The Nightingale is an epic story told through a compelling mixture of acrobatics and aerial arts.
