Acrobatics, aerial performances and holiday music will take over The Met Philadelphia when Cirque du Soleil's "Twas the Night Before…" returns for an 11-day engagement from Dec. 17-27.
Created specifically for the holiday season, the production blends Cirque du Soleil's signature acrobatics with theatrical storytelling inspired by "A Visit from Saint Nicholas," the classic Christmas poem by Clement Clarke Moore. The story follows a young girl as she rediscovers the wonder of the holidays.
The production features a cast of 26 performers from around the world performing aerial straps, hoop diving, hair suspension, dance and other gravity-defying acts. A soundtrack featuring reimagined Christmas favorites accompanies the performance.

Performers combine roller skating and acrobatics during Cirque du Soleil's holiday production “Twas the Night Before…,” returning to The Met Philadelphia this December.
