LE GRAND CIRQUE’S ADRENALINE

If you’re looking for a little heart-thumping excitement this January, there’s no need to throw yourself out of a plane or swim with the sharks. Instead, experience it vicariously from the safely of a nice plush seat in the Opera House Concert Hall, as 40 of the world’s most daring acrobats perform literally death-defying stunts in an extravaganza of ‘extreme.’ The show features some of the most terrifying acts in the world – including the ‘Globe of Death’ motorbike act and the no doubt PTSD-inducing ‘Wheel of Destiny.’ Fun for the whole family, though probably not nan if she’s got a weak ticker.
