(ST. LOUIS / June 4, 2010)

Circus Flora, St. Louis' beloved one-ring, European-style circus, opens at 7 p.m.
Friday, June 4, under the familiar red-and-white, big top tent in Grand Center, adjacent to Powell Hall (corner of Grand Boulevard and Samuel Shepard Drive). Presenting an all-new show, Ingenioso - inspired by the impossible dream of Don Quixote - Circus Flora continues through June 27.

Ingenioso refers to the ingenious, quick-thinking of Don Quixote as he mistakes ordinary objects and people for the fantastic, and falls into misadventure after misadventure, always managing to emerge unscathed. With a sizzling Spanish flair and a variety of classic circus acts including galloping conquistadors, hilarious farmyard animals, classic equestrian ballet, breathtaking aerial acts and an awe-inspiring low-wire walker, the world-renowned Circus Flora ensemble brings this memorable tale to life.
