Cirque du Soleil's Anniversary Collection 1984-2005 is a 12-disc retrospective of the Canadian troupe's distinctive brand of performance, involving the fantastic feats of acrobatics and athleticism, balance and contortion; the single-ring techno circus; the multicolored lights and costumes; the abstract story lines of fantasy and self-discovery; the music that fuses rock, New Age, and various world influences; and the madcap clowns that prey on their live audiences. The programs included are La Magie Continue (1986); Cirque Reinvente (1989); Nouvelle Experience (1991); Saltimbanco (1994), the 1994 documentary retrospective A Baroque Odyssey; the Amsterdam-set Quidam (1999); Allegria (1999), the live Sydney show; the Chinese-influenced Dralion (2000), in its standard, non-Superbit release; the relatively short IMAX film Journey of Man (2002); Varekai (2002), from Toronto; La Nouba (2003), from Walt Disney World; and Midnight Sun, strikingly staged outdoors at the 2004 Montreal International Jazz Festival. That's a lot of aerial feats, tricks, and tumbling, but the set is not designed to absorb in one sitting. Rather, viewers can sample both the simpler early shows and the stunning later performances that, with their 5.1 sound and widescreen pictures, are perfectly suited to home theaters. Compiling 12 previously released DVDs in space-saving Thinpaks at an economical price, the Anniversary Collection is nearly all the Cirque du Soleil you could ever want, but completists should note that the set does not include the feature film Allegria: An Enchanting Fable, the bonus disc of Varekai, the reality-TV show Fires Within, and the 13-part variety series Solstrom. --David Horiuchi

 50% GOOD~~~50%BAD..... June 15, 2008

I have to say that this set is in short terms one half good and one half not so good. It is good in the start and moving on.....then slowly starts to stray away from the Cirque we all love......the worst in MY opinion was the last one (a one-time performance...luckily)"Midnight Sun" ACK!!! There were no costume efforts, and there were no acts or performances we are used to. Just a cheap show for the International Jazz Festival. Now granted...these performers can perform WAY better than myself...not taking anything away from them...but when you are used to the extraordinary...the simple does not cut it. I felt the performances should IMPROVE...not evaporate.

Esta presentacion contiene 12 DvD que van desde el ano 1986 con "la magia continua" en donde se demustra los comienzos del circo y se puede obeservar como ha evolucionado, hasta el 2004 con el dvd "sol de media noche" una presentacion en vivo. Ademas contiene un dvd titulado una odisea barroca donde explica todo el trayecto del cirque du soleil. Entre otros temas se encuentra dralion una presentacion que tiene una gran influencia oriental en sus actos, varekai, alegria, saltimbanco, entre otros, adicional obsequian 6 tarjetas con la fotos de la presentacion de los dvd. Es un coleccion unica que no debe faltar, especial para una reunion entre amigos o familiar. La region es 1, pero si se posee un dvd multizona corre perfectamente.

I love this DVD set, and the fact that it contains the nearly complete set is fantastic. The first two DVD's ("La Magie Continue" and "Cirque Reinvente")are much more like your average circus, but the "Nouvelle Experience", and all the rest (Except for "A Baroque Odyssey" and "Midnoght Sun") are the trademark Cirque shows. The only thing that could make this set better is "Corteo." Most definitly worth the $100+.
 Happy camper June 28, 2007

I am very satisfied so much that I purchased another set and sent it to my sister oversea. I think more enterning and cheaper than going to some of movies of today.
I highly recomend to anyone.
