“O™” by Cirque du Soleil®: Romantic. Graceful. Poetic.

Cirque du Soleil weaves an aquatic tapestry of artistry, surrealism and theatrical romance in the timeless production of “O”. Described as “liquid magic” by the Los Angeles Times, “O” boasts a custom built nearly 5.7 million-liter pool that artists dive into throughout the show. This breathtaking show is inspired by the concept of infinity and the elegance of water’s pure form. “O” pays tribute to the beauty of the theater – from the simplest street performance to the most lavish of operas – where anything is possible and where the drama of life plays itself out before your very eyes.

About the Show

The pool can be transformed into a dry stage in a manner of seconds.
"O" features the largest contingent of Olympic Athletes of any of the Cirque du Soleil productions, with seven of its performers having participated in one or more Olympic Games before joining the show.
In High Dive, the performers jump from 18 meters above the stage into a 5-meter-deep triangular section of the pool.
The music of “O” is played live every night. The musicians need to be in a climate controlled environment, as many of their instruments are quite valuable and react easily to changes in temperature or humidity.
Around 1,200 costumes and headpieces are used in every performance.
From world-renowned director Franco Dragone
Children must be 5 years or older to attend the show.

These artists joined "O" from Mongolia. They represent one of the 21 nationalities within this international cast.
