For those who prefer their circuses old-school, Zoppé family circus has one number for you: 1842. That’s when this traveling one-ring circus was established in Venice. Led by the multi-talented Nino the Clown—who happens to be part of the Zoppé family dynasty that goes back six generations—Zoppé: An Italian Family Circus features refreshingly low-tech feats of acrobatics, juggling, equestrian arts and more, complete with old-fashioned outfits and old-country folk music. There seven performances a week, Wed.-Sun., through Nov. 4.
