About this event

Sinfonia Gulf Coast closes its 21st season in breathtaking fashion on Saturday, May 15, 2027 at the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center. Cirque Cinema merges two extraordinary art forms: the gravity-defying aerial acrobatics of Troupe Vertigo and the soaring orchestral scores of cinema's most beloved films, performed live and in perfect synchrony by Sinfonia Gulf Coast.

Troupe Vertigo's aerialists twist, spiral, and soar above the stage as Sinfonia plays iconic film music in real time — a synergy of music and movement that must be seen to be believed. Expect sweeping cinematic themes paired with choreographed aerial sequences, spectacular lighting, and the kind of theatrical spectacle that lingers in memory long after you leave. It is, quite simply, one of the most visually stunning live performances to come to the Emerald Coast stage.

The season finale slot means Sinfonia Gulf Coast is at its spring-polished best. Tickets range from $45 to $69.50, with student and military pricing at $25 — a remarkable value for a world-class evening of live performance. Cirque Cinema is the kind of event families and couples plan vacations around, and with limited seats at the convention center, early booking is strongly recommended.
