While I was in Las Vegas I had the immense pleasure of being able to attend Cirque de Soleil’s performance of “O”.
I had never attended any of the Cirque de Soleils, but had always wanted to. I knew that this was a good opportunity to see one especially since “O” is not a traveling show. It is permanently situated in Las Vegas. This is because part of the show is done in the water and so a special stage has been created for it.
This show was like being transported into a dream world of theater. The music has an afro-cuban world beat sound to it and the costumes were colorful and gorgeous. Apparently each one costs about $10,000 and they last for about 20 shows. All of the entertainers are SCUBA certified.
There were flying ships and amazing dives, synchronized swimming and gymnastics. It was truly a breathtaking spectacle. I sat on the front row and actually received a flower from one of the characters in the show. How Cool! However, I think I would recommend sitting a little bit higher so that you can get a better view of the synchronized swimming. I was on their level, so I could only see heads, feet and hands poking up.
All in all, it was an amazing show full of colors, sound and incredible talent – next time you are in Vegas be sure to see this one!
Daring To Be Me!
