CAVALIA ARRIVES IN MONTREAL FOR THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED RETURN OF IT’S SUCCESSFUL TOUR

Odysseo

The world’s largest big top tent has been raised in downtown Montreal for the much-anticipated return of Odysseo. A roaring success in Canada, U.S. and Mexico, Odysseo has mesmerized more than three million spectators to date. The spectacular production featuring 70 horses and 50 riders, acrobats, dancers and musicians will be presented starting July 25 under the White Big Top at the entrance of the Jacques Cartier Bridge, on Sainte Catherine Street East at the corner of De Lorimier Avenue. It’s the first time Cavalia sets up downtown, at an exceptional location that is at the heart of the city’s renowned summer festivities. With public transit and a bridge nearby, travelling to and from the show site will be a breeze.

AN UPLIFTING AND EMOTIONALLY CHARGED THEATRICAL PRODUCTION FEATURING 70 HORSES AND 50 ARTISTS.

A team of 80 experienced workers will be in charge of building the inside of the White Big Top and creating the Odysseo village. With unparalleled technical, visual and sound infrastructure, the inside of the tent will include bleachers of 2,074 seats and a stage of 1,626 square metres — an area larger than an NHL hockey rink — which will require 10,000 tonnes of stone, earth and sand to create. This unique tent has several exceptional features, notably a technical grid that can support 80 tonnes of equipment for the stage needs of the show, including the majestic life-size merry-go-round. This technical grid and the technology used for the realization of the show are worthy of the largest permanent installations in Las Vegas, New York or London. The huge stage establishes a space of freedom for the horses and performers that enables cutting-edge and large-scale creative performances.

AN ENCHANTING, UNFORGETTABLE MULTI-SENSORY EXPERIENCE YOU WILL REMEMBER FOREVER.

Odysseo is a larger than life show, a two-hour waking dream that mesmerizes audiences of all ages. Simply put, Odysseo is the largest, most technologically advanced show on the planet. It combines the best of the equestrian arts with world-class acrobatics and stagecraft to create an unprecedented theatrical experience that has completely redefined live entertainment throughout the world. CNN Los Angeles has recently been delighted by the production imagined by Normand Latourelle, declaring that Odysseo is nothing less than “real Hollywood magic… on stage!”
