| - Situated just inside of the luxurious and elegant Bellagio of Las Vegas, "O" is not just another one of Cirque du Soleil's resident shows that located on the world famous Las Vegas Boulevard; "O" is the ultimate performance that embodies the highest level of artistry in stage, costume, as well as acrobatic acts that is a sheer triumph.
Corresponding to the theme of Bellagio, its resident show "O" is a tribute to the infinity and elegance of water's pure form. Unlike it's whimsical (ok... and naughty) cousin "Zumanity," "O" carries on a more serious and classy tone (I suppose maybe that's why there's a woman snoring behind us throughout the show...!!)
The story of "O" is about a Sicilian boy "Philemon," and us as the audience following his journey of seeking Aurora, a beautiful and mysterious girl who represent the quest itself. Throughout the show, there are acts of clowns, synchronized swimming, fire, high dive, just to name a few. Personally, I have seen this show twice, and similar to the time when I was visiting Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, I wept as I was immersed in its fine imagery and score.
Mind you, this class of entertainment is not cheap, the ticket alone can very well exceed one night's stay on the strip (depending on when and where you're staying.) But trust me, it is well worth the price for those who appreciates theatrical/performance arts; which is why I came back with my BF for a second show.
