A Spectacular Circus-Cabaret With Gravity Defying Performances Just Landed In Melbourne
Do you like circus acts? Do you like world-class cabaret? How about comedy that has you laughing to tears? An extraordinary show is coming to Melbourne for the very first time from late October, hot on the heels of a huge national tour and an extended 260-show stint in Sydney. It’s called La Ronde, it’ll be at Spiegel Haus Melbourne, and we’re here to tell you all about it.
La Ronde is where extraordinary aerial acts meet feats of strength, acrobatics, comedy and singing. The cast is an international ensemble of elite performers and globally-acclaimed talent. The show? A night of spectacle, seduction and unimaginable skill with jaw-dropping performances and phenomenal acts. It really is that show you don’t want to miss.
Among glowing reviews, over 1,600 audience members gave it the full five-star rating.

The highly anticipated Melbourne debut kicks off on Wednesday 21 October, taking over Melbourne’s Spiegel Haus in the heart of the CBD. You’ll be up close and personal with world-class acrobats, fire-loving provocateurs, pyramid aerialists and a flying pole virtuoso.
The sensation comes from the independent Aussie production company, Strut & Fret. For the cabaret-lovers out there, Strut & Fret are the same brains behind Blanc de Blanc, Late Night Vice and Loca Vida.
“Every act in La Ronde pushes the boundaries of what the human body can do, combining extraordinary technique with humour, sensuality, danger and a healthy dose of irreverence,” says Strut & Fret and La Ronde producer, Jess Copas. “And with the action taking place on and around a central stage (hence the name La Ronde/The Round), the show feels very intimate as the performers are never far away.”

La Ronde first hit the stage at Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2025. Since then, the production has been on a roll, attracting critical acclaim.
The season runs from 21 October 2026 right through to 31 January 2027, Wednesday to Sunday.
