A few weeks ago for Cavalia's Odysseo Social Media week, we attended as media and were able to take photos/videos during the show. My husband and I were completely blown away! It was a wonderful theatrical experience as each segment tells a story. This show is great for all ages, and they're performing in Orange County until the end of the month!
Even if you're not a big horse person, you will be amazed! While we waited for the show to begin, they displayed fun facts about the show like there are 65 horses and it takes about 2 years to train a trick horse, 4 years to train a liberty horse, and 6 years to train a dressage horse. Then when the show started, it was high energy and got us all excited to see more. Both riders and dancers were entertaining and fun to watch. In some performances, the horses are trained to perform without reins!
The video backdrop creatively gives us visual effects and a better understanding of the story. My favorite part was when the horses and riders came over the hill and the mountains were moving in the back. We can tell that they traveled from afar and that their journey was long. The music and the backdrop was just captivating, and I felt like I was on the journey with them.
Another amazing part was when a carousal slowly dropped from the ceiling and acrobatics danced on it as it spun. In the second half, water emerges and it forms a lake. They were trick riding in the water as aerialists danced from the ceiling. Beautiful!
The show is just incredible. Someone from the show told us that OC currently has double the amount of performers and horses right now because the show in China is on hold. My husband and I enjoyed a fun evening out, but also think our boys would love it too. Although some are concerned that the tickets are expensive, we can understand why, because there is a lot involved that goes into the show. If you're on the fence about it, check out some of the footage below.
Have fun!
