What is Cirque du Soleil OVO about?

OVO dives into the hidden world beneath our feet at the Royal Albert Hall, transforming the everyday lives of insects into an epic celebration of biodiversity and community. When a quirky blue fly stumbles into a bustling ecosystem carrying a mysterious egg, he falls head-over-wings for a spirited ladybug. Crickets leap skyward, butterflies soar, ants juggle with precision, and spiders contort in defiance of gravity.

Since premiering in Montreal in 2009, OVO has enchanted over 4.5 million people across the globe. Book Cirque du Soleil OVO tickets for this landmark return to London marking Cirque's 30th anniversary of performing in the UK capital!
