STARS ALIGN FOR THE MOST DAZZLING SPIEGELTENT SEASON YET, WITH NEW CIRCUS SENSATION - LA RONDE
Announcement posted by Thurnham Teece 20 Jan 2026
Prepare to be seduced by the world's very best variety artists.
Having taken home 14 five-star reviews in its debut season at this year's Adelaide Fringe Festival, then touring to Darwin, Newcastle and Sydney, La Ronde is set to dazzle Hobart audiences when it debuts at a new location at Salamanca Wharf Carpark, Castray Avenue Hobart in April 2026.
La Ronde presents a mesmerising medley of circus extraordinaries from Europe and America -featuring hair-hanging and mouth-hanging aerialists that will have your jaws dropping; a flying-pole sensation with the physical prowess of a Marvel superhero; and a vivacious darling of the European cabaret scene hitting all the right notes.
La Ronde is the latest creation from international production powerhouse Strut & Fret, renowned for their unique brand of edge-of-your seat theatre. Strut & Fret currently have shows also running at permanent venues in London and Brisbane's West End. Previous productions include the internationally acclaimed, blockbuster hits LIMBO, Blanc De Blanc and Blanc de Blanc Encore.
Spiegeltent Hobart and Strut & Fret are renowned for bringing the very best in circus and cabaret to Hobart.
Spiegeltent Hobart is a venue like no other. With a new home in 2026 located at Salamanca Wharf Carpark, residents will once again be blown away by shows inside the beautiful vintage circus tent as well as with the venue itself. The simple act of walking in the doors will transport you to a time of glitz and glamour.
With lush velvet drapes, and mirrored panels on every internal angle, entering the Spiegeltent will transport you to a decadent European performance space in the blink of an eye. It's the perfect environment for an indulgent night out, and the ideal setting for a Strut & Fret show.
La Ronde Producer, Jess Copas, has hinted at what's to come:
"La Ronde will feel like a dizzying carousel ride of sensations, especially as the audience is so close to the performers. You'll feel a bit of everything throughout the show - it's intimate and elegant one moment, high-energy and hysterical the next! The skills performed in La Ronde are truly the best in the world, they do things I didn't even know were possible. It's one of the most incredible casts I've worked with."
Hold on tight - unexpected twists and irresistible allure await at every turn. Your seat is ready.
