The following discography is a catalogue of the albums and singles released by the Canadian entertainment company Cirque du Soleil.
The majority of these musical works are studio recordings of compositions from the original scores of Cirque du Soleil's nouveau cirque shows. Since the company's founding in 1984, various composers have been commissioned to write the music for Cirque du Soleil's many productions.
René Dupéré was Cirque du Soleil's first composer. Benoît Jutras, who had worked for many years as an arranger and musical director for the company, began filling the role of composer with the show Quidam (1996 World Premiere in Montreal). In 1998, Violaine Corradi was also selected by Guy Laliberté and Gilles Ste-Croix to become the third main composer for Cirque du Soleil.
Dupéré, Jutras and Corradi would eventually be followed by composers Simon Carpentier, Philippe Leduc, Danny Elfman, Maria Bonzanigo, Jean-François Coté, Berna Ceppas, Guy Dubuc and Marc Lessard, among others. The Cirque du Soleil shows Love, Viva Elvis, and Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour do not have original scores; instead, their soundtracks consist of new arrangements of songs by The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson, respectively.
