This is one of the most magical shows I have ever experienced. The VIP Rendevous package is definitely worth the price--a full meal with wine, wonderful desserts and more wine at intermission, and a visit to the stables after the show.Written on Sep 14 2009

Fabulous show! 25% Cirque de soleil acts - trapeze, flying cords, ropes, tumbling - 25% similar with horses participating and 50% focused on the horses mounted dressage, trick riding, etc. - the highlight of the show from the training aspect was the liberty freestyle work with 8 horses. As a horsewoman of MANY years and a canine musical freestyle trainer, I greatly appreciated the amazing demonstration of training prowess - and they are STUNNING!Written on Oct 05 2009

This was a very special show. The acrobatics were entertaining and the horses were beautiful--straight out of a fairytale. The best part was to see the interactions among trainers/acrobats and the horses... it's amazing to see the intimate connection they have and to see what the horses can be trained to do, even unbridled. The live music and all those amazing special effects with the background and the lighting also added something special to each performance, and the singer was amazing. A very memorable evening!Written on Oct 02 2009

Description
Cavalia, the spectacular equestrian odyssey is now performing in the Washington area. This multimedia extravaganza brings together more than 100 two and four-legged artists. The mix of horses, acrobats, aerialists, dancers, riders and musicians transports spectators to dream-like settings while celebrating the timeless bond between horses and humans. Cavalia is presented under its towering White Big Top at Pentagon City in Arlington.
Normand Latourelle, founder and artistic director of Cavalia, is the visionary behind the show. As one of the co-founders of Cirque du Soleil, Latourelle first brought Cirque to Chicago in 1988. Through Latourelle’s passionate vision, Cavalia revolutionizes equestrian and performing arts much like Cirque du Soleil revolutionized the circus. Latourelle has become renowned for adventurous, mammoth and innovative productions that transport spectators to new realms of imagination.
Cavalia is a show unlike any other, a lavish orchestration blending multimedia theatrical spectacle with equestrian and performing arts. Acrobats, aerialists, dancers, musicians and riders are showcased on an enormous, 160-foot-wide stage; a space so expansive that it allows the horses sufficient space to gallop and cavort, at times completely unbridled. Recognized for their expertise in the realm of multimedia, Cavalia’s creators have used cutting-edge technology to create dream-like fantasy world. Large, panoramic images are projected on to a 210-foot-wide curved screen, while stunning special and lighting effects illuminate the action on the stage and in the air. Original live music and vocals accompany this feast for the senses.
