Circus Flora is a One-Ring circus base in St. Louis, MO, USA. It has become a touring show yet it performs annually in St. Louis, usually at the beginning of the month of June. It combines the venue of a one-ring circus with the performance trappings of theater. Performances include skilled aerialists, equestrian artists, acrobats, and trained animals of all sorts. Each performance is accompanied by a live orchestra. Live musicians allow the mood to be tailored to the live events happening in the ring -- down to every crash of the cymbal or beat of the snare drum.
