If it weren't for Elena Lev, Cirque de Soleil would never have been as successful as its hayday. The original Alegria (1994-), in which Elena was the star performer, contributed to the development of the entire Cirque production tremendously. In the interview of DVD Alegira (2003), Elena was still a teen, but already shining as a leading artist -- full of beauty, intelligence, and professionalism. It is unbelievably awesome to see her being a super star in new Alegria after 2 1/2 decades. Elena has accomplished so much and is a true maverick in the circus world! The new Alegira may resume next year, and I don't know if she will come back. I hope she will, but even if not, I will congratulate Elena Lev for Alegria!

Well said. No one can forget her performance in that green outfit. Alegria back then was just so, so good. Cirque is just recycling material at this point.

Elena Lev..... what a LEGEND!!!!!!!!!

My favorite is the Native American pair in Totem! The dancing, the singing, the hoop wings! So creative.

Congrats!!!! You are in the video!!!

The legendary Elena Lev is still full of life and grace. The astonishing performer brings her eternal shine to the show. She is "Alegria"; she is "Cirque du Soleil". She is the brilliant Elena Lev!!

I watched the new version of Alegria yesterday and I honestly couldn't help but wish she were there. It was such an honor to witness the original 27 years ago. Her beauty, her grace, and her unparalleled performance, perfected in her teens! Her charm will never fade❤

Elena ... pure perfection shes ageless 😘

In times of Pandemic, watching Cirque du Soleil's joy and energy makes us overcome fear. We will remain optimistic that we are in the audience.

_I must not fear._ _Fear is the mind-killer._ _Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration._ _I will face my fear._ _I will permit it to pass over me and through me._ _And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path._ _Where the fear has gone there will be nothing._ _Only I will remain._ FEAR is the PURPOSE of the coof coof ... and of the (contradicting) messages which media, politicians and "experts" spread. People who are afraid are easier to control! Most of the things which are called "science" these days are NOT science ... because real science ALWAYS ALLOWS ITSELF TO BE CRITICISED ... because scienctists know "the way we thought about the universe in the past was WRONG, so my theory CAN BE EQUALLY WRONG." QUESTIONING your own theory objectively is the job of every scientist, but questioning IS NOT ALLOWED ... especially by the scientific overlords called Social Media! Stop trusting them ... all of them (no matter which "side" they represent) ... and instead use your own common sense, because in the end you cant do anything ... and running around like a headless chicken because you are afraid will not help the situation either.

The new version of Alegria is even cool, but it could have given a fresh look at the best song from the original show, because Elena's presentation with that song is sensational, but the new song didn’t match a presentation.

I also feel like the new music is weak. The power track for example doesn't feel as powerful as the original one. In Elena's performance, the calm or quiet parts of the music makes the presentation look simple or unfinished, idk. Love Elena, she's awesome and amazing as always.

love that it started and ended with the great Elena Lev!!!

The hoop diving guys from Volta seem like such chill and upbeat people to be around and look like their having a blast. I think that energy also transfers to the audience as well.

It’s crazy what a difference the music makes in the energy of the new and old Alegria. I always thought Elena seemed confident and almost threatening in the old one. Like a twisty, poison green snake, beautiful but dangerous. The new performance feels so graceful and introspective, almost effortless. Very different vibes!

Elena lev is amazing in this show, a incredible hula hoop master in the history of the cirque du soleil ❤️

Elena is my idol of hula hooper 😍

ELENA LEV THE BEST!!! WE ARE WAITING TO SEE HER!!!! :)

We loved being a part of making Lucia happen with our conveyor system. Great to watch it all again from 18:30 and see the skill of the acrobats in action!!! Love Love Love!

Elena Lev is just amazing

EVERYBODY MISSING ELENA LEV STEPPING OUT WITH A TEMPS DE FLECHÉ

VOLTA Is my fav ! I wish I could see one day this show live. Cirque all of you are the best.

Whoever designed the Volta hoop diver's outfits... THANK YOU!

Elena Lev. Greatest of all time. ❤❤❤

Even after two years since I saw this video, the energy of Volta's hoop performance keeps making me smile and enjoy like a child. I hope I can see that show live at least once

Melodie the hooper is AMAZINGGGGG OMG, so inspiring. I prefer her skills over Elenas to be honest !!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE< the classic Alegria is always awesome !!!!!! Elena is amazing !!!!!

There are alot of good hoola hoopers, but in my mind Elena Lev set the bar for all time. Cirque must think so too, because they saved the best for last.

Native American hoop Dance the best 💯

Elena Lev beginning and ending this compilation is just right.

Marie Faber in amaluna 😍👏🏼👏🏼 amazing

Thank you so much for this special! Hoops are one of my favorite acts:) And of course Elena Lev is one of my favorite performers!

It's wonderful to watch talent with such imagination.

Crazy to think I was 14 when the first show came out then a revamp at 39! I only took interest to cirque du soleil as a kid because of her talent Wow! She still got it!

Mesmerizingly graceful. When the two ladies used all the rings together it reminded me of when you see the silver fins swimming together in the Ocean, almost making a shimmering silver whirlpool together. The whole lot of this is just gorgeous and majestic. Love the various music and costumes too, especially 25:22. That gorgeous snug blue suit just adds to to stunning vibe 🙂😊

Good Music 🏵️. Good Artists ☺️. Good Acts.👌. Good Everything 🌿.

I love it! Wow! No matter what you can do, Cirque can do it better 😂 You guys are the best!

Aerial Show is Risky and Entertaining and Dangerous. The BEST 😊👌 Act.

Women Artists in Red & Orange took lots of Risks and the Act was Effortless. Bravo ☺️💐👌

Excellent Act 😊 by a Female artist in Light Blue and another Female artist in two-piece costume 😊 gave remarkable Performance 🏵️🏵️..on a huge , roung glass tub. This is an emotional Act 😊. Excellent.

My fav is the original Alegria. My fav. Cirque du Soleil is Alegria in general. Hoops and Flying Man were amazing!

Amazing core-strength and at its finest! Enjoying the weekly presentations! Thanks for all of the incredible work put in for this presentation. Cirque is "CirqueTrodinary"!!

Her twisting of Body , while maintaining rhythm with the Loop/ Ring is Fabulous 💐👌😊.

Прекрасно. Можно смотреть бесконечно. Спасибо за ваш труд

Women in Red Costume 🌺 performed Very Well 😊. It was an Excellent Drama, Risky and Entertaining also. Great 💐.

Unbelievable .....Hard work and good souls .Graphic visual effects and Dsign rr prfect . thx ..Immortal hula hoop ( hoolah hoop ) girls . She's blue female dervish / super Girl .

I am hoping for the hula hoop act from wintuk. It is super hard to find a bit of material of that show

They're all great, but the best is at 34:24 I saw her in person and I have the CD. The music is so great for this piece.

Elena como disfrutas las ovaciones! Divina!!!

omg is perfect

I'm sorry, but Algeria just....does it for me. She has SO much stage presence!

Me fascina BAZZAR pero pienso que la chica de aros (expresa muchísimo) 💜, los de la silla y el aro aéreo Cada uno de estos artistas por separado son capaces de sostener un número y se lucirían increíble en solitario.
