Stardust BV – World Christmas Circus 35 years

To Celebrate 35 years of World Christmas Circus in Theatre Carré world renowned and Guinness Worldrecord holder juggeler Michael Ferreri and show producer Elisa van der Meyden open the Euronext stockexchange!

In the 132 year history of this worldfamous Dutch entertainment venue not a single tradition has had as much success, or has lasted as long as the Wereldkerstcircus (World christmas circus). To celebrate this incredible success a penultimate program was created with the cream of the crop of the international circus world. Only winners of the most prestigious circus festivals in the world were invited to perform in Amsterdam. The result is a showstopping experience beyond all belief! Some of the largest, most daring acts ever will be performed in the Royal Theatre! The show will be directed by the Royal Circus Gia Eradze with modern choreography and fairytale-like costumes. This jubilee promises to be everything the most famous circus in Europe was for the past 35 years AND will showcase what it will become in the future. An immersive experience of skill, art and architecture in one the most beautiful cities in the world!

Decades years ago Carré had changed from a circus venue to a theatre only venue. Its heritage stuffed away in a remote corner of an attic. 35 years ago a team of visionary creatives decided to overhaul this once famous circustemple and start a new, proud tradition. Technology, architecture and especially the incredible talent of the best performers in the world quickly turned the risky investment into an overwhelming success. 35 years later Wereldkerstcircus in Carré is perhaps the most famous Christmas tradition in the Netherland creating everlasting happy memories for generations of visitors.
