Top world talent

Since 1965. Bullen Bros and ourselves have presented four tours of the Great Moscow Circus throughout Australia and New Zealand. I ach one of these tours was a tremendous success, in tact over three million and a half Australians have seen the Moscow Circus. After the phenomenal programme that the Russians presented in 1974. we were left with the problem of what to present in our next circus. It was obvious that the only thing to do was choose the best acts to have appeared with the Moscow Circus and put them together with the absolute top talent from the world’s greatest circuses. This was what we did. and this is what you see in the Great International Circus Spectacular. It has taken us four years to put together a programme which features the greatest stars that the circus world has to offer. During those four years, directors of my company, members of the Bullen family and my family have travelled from the heart of Russia through most of the Eastern I uropcan countries, to Scandinavia and central Europe, from small Spanish towns to the tip of Italy, criss-crossed the United States and travelled un through the Orient. Together we have seen hundreds of circuses and in excess of a thousand individual acts. The artists that jou will see have appeared with the world's greatest circuses, from the Great Moscow Circus to the fabulous Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey. No expense has been spared in bringing you the cream of the world's circus performers. — MICHAEL EDGLEV.
