trying to "right-click" on any page here at the
Grand Chapiteau. This was put in to place to
discourage any image theft. This is in conjunction
with the wishes of Cirque du Soleil. Please do not
take any images from this site.

as well as centralize the clips in the "Musique"
sections of each show. It should also help us with
our bandwidth useage.

the future.

will benefit us for expansion with the 2003 and 2004
shows.
