About the show
“O” is Cirque’s aquatic masterpiece: world-class acrobats, artistic swimmers, divers, trapeze artists and clowning performed in, on, and above a 1.5-million-gallon pool—staged like a romantic European opera house. It’s an all-ages spectacle that has run at Bellagio since October 17, 1998.
Highlights of the show
Aquatic feats: synchronized swimming, high dives, and amphibious stagecraft—90 minutes, no break.
Huge international cast (dozens of artists; many Olympians).
No two vantage points feel the same thanks to moving platforms, aisles action, and layered staging.
