***This is a review for the performance of the show, not the video***
Corteo has all of the hallmarks of what makes Cirque du Soleil shows great: unbelievable stunts, a universal story theme, a strong soundtrack, and an unexpectedly strong sense of humor. This was the third of the shows I've seen (following Mystere and Ka), and I have to say that stunts seemed relatively less impressive (still indescribably impressive in their own right), my favorite part was actually the music. I was blown away at how incredible it was, even compared to their other shows. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say my favorite part of a Cirque du Soleil was the music rather than the performances or humor, but when I got up from my seat the music is what impressed me the most. Still a great show with no weaknesses and very strong in all aspect as usually, but the music was some of the best.
