Circus Krone GmbH & Co. Betriebs-KG

Since 2017 Jana Mandana Lacey Krone is leading one of the most famous traditional Circus Companies of the world. She took over the lead from her adoptive mother Christel Sembach-Krone - well known Grande Dame of Circus!

Jana Mandana Lacey Krone started her carrier as 3 year old girl, presenting a mini shetland pony in the arena. Since then, she loves Circus and never stopped doing so! She is married to Martin Lacey jr. - one of the most famous animal instructors, working with tigers and lions since decades. Martin Lacey jr. was honoured by the Circus Festival of Monte Carlo several times with the Silver and Golden Clown. In 2019 he was awarded by Princess Stephanie of Monaco and the Jury with a Golden Clown "exceptionelle" - which never happened in the history of Monte Carlo ever before...

Circus Krone was founded more than 100 years ago and established their Headquarters in Munich 1919. Since then, the Circus is traveling during summer times and returns to Munich each winter for the Winter Season. The big Circus Krone Arena in the middle of Munich belongs to the Circus as well as several buildings and farms outside of Munich, where the animals are taken care of.

Circus Krone is one of the last Circus Companies in Europe who work and travel with animals. Elephants, Horses, tigers, lions and some other exotic species belong to the Krone Family. Krone was rewarded for their remarkably good animal welfare several times and besides their daily work for and with the animals, they also founded the LACEY fund - a registered association to protect animals in human care.

Circus Krone is known for his outstanding performances, his world-leading Artists and the magic of traditional Circus.

In 2019 they started a cooperartion with ReCirquel for their new summer program: "MANDANA -Circuskunst neu geträumt" in which they mix traditional Circus with elements of Contemporary Circus. The new program is directed by Bence VÁGI and is telling the love story of princess Mandana and the Lion-Prince. You might have recognized that this story reflects the relationship of Jana Mandana Lacey Krone and Martin Lacey jr. and it is presented with Poetry, Magic and a lot of Humor.
