Franco Dragone Wife: Was Franco Dragone Married?

Franco Dragone was an Italian-born Belgian theatre director. He was born on 12 December 1952 and died from a heart attack in Cairo, Egypt, on 30 September 2022 at the age of 69.

Was Franco Dragone married? Dragone was a very private man and as a result, it is not known if he was married at the time he died. More so, there hasn’t been mention of his wife on the internet thus far.

In 2003, Dragone created A New Day… starring Céline Dion at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and when A New Day ended its run in 2007, Billboard reported it as the highest-grossing residency of all time.

In 2005, Dragone debuted his fourth production on the Las Vegas Strip with the opening of Le Rêve at the Wynn Las Vegas.

For this show he used performers mainly from disciplines related to gymnastics.

It was synonymous with his 1998 show O for Cirque du Soleil, Le Rêve where he made extensive use of a custom-designed water stage.

In 2007, he directed a new musical based on Prosper Mérimée’s novella Carmen, which premiered at the La Jolla Playhouse.

He also worked on an adaption of the Divine Comedy with composer Ennio Morricone.

CNN described Dragone as “one of the key architects of Cirque du Soleil’s theatrical style”, and that “while Cirque du Soleil’s signature was contemporary circus, Dragone’s solo work embodies more theater, dance — and, of course, water” through the use of his “trademark” aquatic stages.
