Music
Vocalists & Songs

  Corteo’s score was originally composed by Philippe Leduc and Maria Bonzanigo. Additional composers Jean-François Côté and Michel A. Smith subsequently reworked several pieces. Show director Daniele Finzi Pasca contributed lyrics.
Philippe Leduc describes his orchestral score for Corteo as “very visceral music,” but he is quick to add that there are many ethereal passages and passionate moments, too. “I started with the physical,” he says. “There is a relationship between the movements of the performers and the music. In a very broad sense, the music is operatic. I’m trying to stretch the musical spectrum at Cirque.” Philippe sees Corteo as a show full of contrasts and musical moods, from solo guitar to an imposing orchestral presence. “It’s very beautiful at the end,” he says, “but along the way it’s funny, too. There are surprises and laughter around every corner. There are medieval influences with ancient instruments and traces of the 1930s but it’s all very current music.”
