Stunning visual, gorgeous music, amazing acrobatics, beautiful horses, a very fulfilling evening of entertainment, especially for horse lovers. Thanks Goldstar for great ticket prices. All seats in the house have great views.
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!
This event was to quote the program "a poem for the eyes". Buying the Rendouzveau ticket package is the way to go. Dinner and drinks before the show, dessert during intermission, and a tour of the stables after the show. All around incredible evening. The package also includes the $20 parking fee to be able to park right there. So with the Gold Star discount it was less expensive then dinner would have been at any of the nearby restaurants. A very special evening for the horse lover in your life. The staff of Cavalia was outstanding with everyone willing to go out of their way to ensure your visit is a good one.

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.
