Lionel Messi and some of his Barcelona
teammates had a great night at Barcelona on the 31st of January, as Cirque du
Soleil presented its production inspired by the legendary Messi. The party
celebrating the "Messi10" Cirque du Soleil show was hosted at the
Camp Nou stadium. FC Barcelona said "Messi10" was "inspired
by the talent, success and living legend that is Leo Messi, who so brilliantly
exemplifies the spirit and values of the beautiful game."
Messi was in attendance with his wife
Antonela Rocuzzo, then Luis Suarez and his wife Sofia Balba, and other teammates and their
partners.
The performances will debut in
Barcelona on October 10 2019, then production will go on an
international tour with a 90-minute spectacle, in 2020.
Last year, when the show was announced
in October, Messi said, It feels both crazy and incredible that Cirque du
Soleil will create a show based on my life, my passion, my sport.
"Cirque du Soleil is a
family favorite of ours. I have no doubt this show will amaze people
as their shows always do."
Cirque du Soleil is venturing into the
world of football for the first time. They have dedicated previous shows to
artists like Michael Jackson and The Beatles.
