What to Love about Cirque du Soleil
London is never short on all sorts of amazing performances — from operas and plays to musicals and death-defying acrobatics. Whatever your age is, you will surely enjoy Cirque du Soleil’s shows and events, which are always a must-see in London. So pack your bags, grab a train to hotels near Paddington London, and book at the Edward Hotel Paddington, and tour the city with no abandon. And never miss Cirque du Soleil’s show.
This year, the award-winning troupe goes back to London to stage their high-flying tribute to the beauty of our ecosystem. This time, their stages are set in colorful displays that mimic the beauty of nature. Cirque du Soleil comes back to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall with OVO.
OVO is written, choreographed, and directed by Deborah Colker. Like Cirque du Soleil’s previous shows, it features a high flying trapeze of about 14 meters. OVO, which in Portuguese means ‘egg’, explores not only insect life but also love at first sight. This show is evidence that Cirque du Soleil captures the beauty in one’s surroundings and transforms the mundane into the extraordinary.
The popular troupe’s take on storytelling is literal and straightforward: A community of insects is disrupted upon the arrival of a fly, who brings a strange egg. The egg is taken from him, and before he could get it back, he gets into a series of mini adventures with a female ladybug.
Spectators who will watch OVO for the first time will be amazed at the high-wire acts and somersaults, and the striking performances. Two hours is not enough to be enthralled by their powerful talent and their colorful props, costumes, and set designs.
Complete your trip to London with a dose of fun and revelry with Cirque du Soleil. This group is renowned for their acrobatic moves and cohesive plots. To see them at the Royal Albert Hall is a perfect way to cap off your holiday. OVO gives its audience a carnival feel. There’s a lot of trampolining and foot-juggling, and samba music to keep you entertained until the end. You can book tickets in advance to catch the first show on January 11.
After watching OVO, take the time to stroll the streets around Kensington and rest in budget hotels near Paddington Station UK. You can retire there for a night as you get ready for the trip the next day. Meanwhile, London also offers fantastic food fares to satisfy your belly!
