La Nouba One of Cirque du Soleil's better shows in this reviewer's opinion. It is a permanent show located in Walt Disney World, Orlando. The flying trapeze act is clean, impressive and well filmed. Flyers swing on two levels and pass from bar to bar in the first part of the act, with a catcher during the latter half. Other acts include: german wheel, diablo, cycling, tightrope and the fast track; one of the most impressive acts of Cirque du Soleil. Click here to view this item at Amazon.com Nouvelle Experience On of Cirque du Soleil's older shows, Nouvelle Experience is no longer touring. The flying trapeze act is more traditional than that of La Nouba, but does include an aerial cradle rigged above the fly bar. This DVD is well worth checking out as it includes some other great acts such as korean cradle and single/swinging trapeze, albeit in a more traditional circus show format than we are now used to with Cirque du Soleil. Click here to view this item at Amazon.com Solstrom Solstrom is a 13-part TV series featuring (about 130) acts from Cirque du Soleil and invited guests. Although the style and presentation of the acts is often childish, the standard of circus is always high. Includes acts from O, Mystere and Zumanity (not otherwise available on DVD) and new versions of acts from other shows. The flying trapeze act is not from a Cirque show, and is similar in style to Nouvelle Experience (with an aerial cradle as well as a swinging catcher). The filming is spoilt by cheesy music and a dancing rat(!) As a large collection of acts for an enthusiast, this is a great buy.

Young Curtis wants to learn the famous triple somersault from old vet Lancaster, who's crippled from a fatal fall. In comes Lollobrigida making trouble for the two flyers both on the ground and in the air. Flying trapeze footage, filmed at the Cirque D'Hiver in Paris, is impressive and spread throughout the film. This DVD is not available direct from Amazon, but can often be found 'New and Used'.

Inclusion in this list is tenuous because the flying trapeze footage is short, however it is worth a look if you are interested in traditional circuses. Click here to view this item at Amazon.com
