Taba and his cats are the highlight of the circus, which features quite a few other renowned acts. There’s Bello, the daredevil clown who’s been scared so often, his hair stands straight up — all the time. (Bello was named “America’s Best Clown” by Time magazine in 2001.) There’s also Brian Miser, the self-taught human cannonball who does a double shot with his wife, meaning they both come shooting out of the cannon at the same time, a trick no one’s done for more than 30 years. And there’s Alberto and Mauricio Aguilar, brothers who walk the high wire. Like Taba, the brothers are sixth-generation circus performers.
The opening night fun starts today at 7:30 p.m. Daily performance times vary. Through July 27. Reliant Stadium, One Reliant Park. For a complete schedule and information, call 713-629-3700 or visit www.ringling.com. $15 to $125
