More than 100 years ago, the brothers Friedrich, Rudolf, Karl, and Eugen Knie made the transition from an open-air circus to the tent, which started the company in its current form. The sixth, seventh, and now eighth generation of Knie family members give everything in front of and behind the curtain to combine traditional values with state-of-the-art technology and to thrill audiences throughout Switzerland. Each family member brings their own character and strengths—combined, this makes a family as unique as the circus atmosphere.
Again this year, Switzerland’s largest national circus will be presenting their newest show at the Rosentalanlage, next to the Messeplatz. Look forward to daredevil acrobatics under the circus dome, poetic artistry, and comedy for young and old. For showtimes, check their website.
The public animal rehearsals take place Monday through Friday (except during setup and non-performance days) from 9:00 to approximately 12:00 in the Big Top. No guarantees. No ticket is required.
Tickets range from CHF 20-100; kids under age 3 are free and kids ages 3-12 are half price at the matinées as well as at Sunday presentations. You can buy tickets directly from their ticket booth or in advance at Coop City, on their website, and at Ticketcorner locations in person or online.
