O, Cirque du Soleil show in the United States of America
'O' is a Cirque du Soleil production at the Bellagio in Las Vegas that centers on water as its primary theme. The theater was custom-designed for this show, featuring a massive basin that serves as both pool and stage.
The production premiered in October 1998 and became a major success for the company. It established itself as one of the most watched circus shows in the city's entertainment history.
The show takes its name from the French word 'eau', meaning water, which reflects its central aquatic theme. This name choice connects directly to what visitors experience throughout the performance.
Performances take place multiple times weekly, typically from Wednesday through Sunday. It is important to arrive early, as the show is timed and seating is based on arrival time at the venue.
The production uses over 1 million gallons of water in a specially engineered basin on stage. Performers trained as synchronized swimmers, divers, and acrobats execute movements directly in and above the water.
