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 Quidam. He would eventually be followed by composers Violaine Corradi, 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.

This album and the subsequent 1990 Cirque du Soleil album contain music from the company's earliest touring productions: Le Grand Tour, La Magie Continue and Le Cirque Réinventé (We Reinvent the Circus).

Two additional tracks appeared on an "extended" edition of the CD, released March 19, 2002. The tracks are identical to tracks 4 and 9 on the Live in Amsterdam limited edition (disc one).
