‘Le Cirque de Boheme’ returns to Cornerstone

Cornerstone Sonoma again hosts “Bring Your Holidays to Cornerstone” as it kicks off the season with an authentic 1920s-style French Circus by the troop “Le Cirque de Boheme.” Back by popular demand following last year’s debut 12 sold-out shows, Le Cirque de Boheme has an all new show and cast.

The show dates include Dec. 21, 22, 23, 26 and 27 with shows running daily at 3 and 5 p.m.

“Le Cirque de Boheme” is an old style holiday circus based on the French tradition of the 1920s filled with the promise of enchantment, thrill and wonder.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for children 15 years and younger and can be purchased online at cornerstonesonoma.com/explore/projects/cirque.

A portion of each ticket will benefit the Sonoma Valley Mentoring Alliance.

Ringleader Michel Michelis and the enchanting sound of his barrel organ takes the audience on a journey down “Rue des Roses” at the base of the fabled Sacre Coeur in Montmarte Paris of the early 1900s. Along the way, see the world-class talent of a sword thrower, acrobat, magician, contortionists, fire juggler – and more.

The one-hour show will transport audiences into a magical world, filled with enchantment, wonder and adventure.

For more than 10 years, the Public Gardens at Cornerstone have been an ever changing series of walk through installations showcasing new and innovative designs from the world’s finest landscape architects and designers. The first such gallery-style gardens in the United States, the nine-acre exhibit of some 22 gardens was created as an inspiration and resource for people interested in gardens, garden design, and art.

CornerStone Sonoma is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 23570 Arnold Dr. Sonoma. For details, call 933-3010.
