The dazzling spectacle and exciting aerials that are hallmarks of any Cirque du Soleil performance will be on display in San Antonio this fall, as a spellbinding new production of OVO comes to the Alamo City.
Performances will be at the Frost Bank Center from September 25-28. Tickets are on sale now. San Antonio is one of three Texas stops on the tour. OVO will also appear at the Toyota Center in Houston from October 2-5 and the Moody Center in Austin from from October 9-12.
OVO, from the Portuguese word for egg, tells the story of a fascinating insect colony, using 53 acrobats and musicians in the performance. Audiences can expect to see an array of beguiling bugs, from mighty crickets bouncing off trampolines to a hypnotic spider contorting inside her web.
Since its opening in Montreal in 2009, the show has been seen by more than seven million people in 40 different countries. This tour, the production has been entirely reimagined, including a new set design and acrobatic acts, revamped costumes, original characters, and reinvented music.
San Antonians of all ages are bound to be captivated. Cirque du Soleil is synonymous with spectacular displays of flexibility, acrobatics, and gravity-defying aerial work. Blending music, fantastical stories, and sheer wonder, the artistic troupe has legions of fans across the globe.
Along with the tour announcement, Cirque du Soleil has released a preview trailer for OVO.
