Before the performance, I was taken backstage to get a true sense of how Corteo comes to life in each city it travels to. Corteo has been captivating audiences since its conception in 2005. The show has been performed over 4,300 shows in front of over 10 million spectators! 25 trucks carry the entire show and it takes just 12 hours to set up the performance with a crew of over 130 people! The show is like a traveling city bringing not only the show, but a catering company, laundry services, and a team of individuals who make, repair, and ensure each piece of the costume is show ready! Did you know there are over 175 costumes that have to be ready for each and every performance???
