O by Cirque du Soleil is a water-themed show, making it fitting that it takes place at the Bellagio Resort in Las Vegas, renowned for its stunning dancing fountains. This water-filled extravaganza unfolds within the four walls of the Bellagio, where visitors from near and far revel in daring acrobatics, graceful dance moves, and a captivating story.
This staple of the Cirque du Soleil troupe has been thrilling Las Vegas audiences for more than 20 years. The “O” show first opened in 1998, and while much has changed in the intervening decades, the appeal of water dancers, acrobats, and circus-like thrills has not diminished. O is one of the most demanding shows in the Cirque du Soleil lineup, with a cast comprising 85 performers, including dozens of internationally acclaimed acrobats, divers, and synchronized swimmers. The action takes place in an enormous pool, an incredible indoor body of water that holds more than 1.5 million gallons, and the audience revels in the performers’ art, artistry, and athletic prowess. Many long-time fans say that O defies description and must be seen to be believed.
Sometimes there is so much happening during the show that audience members don’t know where to focus their attention. That may be why so many fans have enjoyed O dozens of times and why many repeat visitors to Las Vegas book their O tickets on the same day they reserve their flights. They will be eager to learn more as they leave the custom-built theater. O by Cirque du Soleil is a whimsical and visually stunning show that transports audiences into a fantastical world of wonder and awe with stunning acrobatics surrounded by air, fire, and, most prominently, water.
