Cirque Du Soleil allowed access to the Tribune-Review as it made its final preparations ahead of its performance of “Corteo” at PPG Paints Arena.

“Corteo” first premiered in Cirque du Soleil’s home city of Montreal in 2005 and visited more than 60 cities – including Pittsburgh – in 19 different countries as a big top show before transforming to an arena show in 2016. It runs here through Sunday.
