"O" by Cirque du Soleil (show #2)

A Story, Acrobatics & Stunts in a POOL?
This mystical place (looking like a European Opera House) created in water provides a dream-like trip. Acrobats, swimmers, divers, and characters interact with flying ships and dancing zebras, and tell a story of love and courage.

Over 27 years old (since 1998 it has been in the Bellagio) takes place in a 25 ‘ deep water pool with 1.5 million gallons (kept at 88 degrees). “O” which is pronounced like “eau" ,meaning water in French, has 26 underwater speakers, and during the show utilizes 14 scuba divers to support the divers and swimmers. BTW, the pool is drained to Lake Bellagio for maintenance once a year. There are over 4,800 costumes used in “O” (60 loads of laundry for every performance).
