We were given upgraded seats when we arrived, much to our surprise! We were seated very close to the stage and near where many of the performers interacted with the crowd, making it a very memorable experience! The combination of beautiful live music, sheer athletic skill, and stunning set and costume design made this event well worthwhile. Cirque du Soleil consistently delivers quality, family-friendly entertainment executed at the highest level.

It was just fantastic from start to finish. We went to the Albert hall to see Cirque de soliel two years ago for my husbands birthday and repeated the experience this year. The Albert Hall is an absolutely stunning venue and was just perfect for a performance such as this. We both absolutely loved every moment. The gymnasts are just incredible. What an experience! Hopefully we will visit again in another couple of years.

Wow. They always live up to my expectations and beyong. The acrobats and performers are top class, contributing to an unforgottable exerience.' Canada' you can not go wrong. Their people are very nice, friendly. Anything they do are thriving to reach the highest quality. Sorry guys, I did not take photos. My advice is to go on YouTube and check out the short videos of their performances. It is brilliant!!!

Spectacular! And i never use that word! 🤪 But it was AWESOME! My partner and I loved every minute of it. And we cant wait to bring our children. We tried to attend when it was showing in the US and were disappointed when we couldnt so really glad we got to go in London!

Some superb acrobatics in a brilliant venue! While the storyline was a bit thin and the music less 'memorable' than for example Alegria, the combination of acrobatics, costumes, music and humour makes for an exceptional, albeit hugely expensive, evening out!

Albert Hall really suited to Cirque... performers used all parts of the stage to maximise views for all areas. We were sitting in the stalls on one side of the stage which was perfect - One criticism... less clown time and let them have more of a narrative.

Cirque du Soleil’s OVO returns reimagined, an insect kingdom bursts to life in this surreal love story between a curious fly and a strong-willed ladybug.

Created by Brazil’s Deborah Colker, the first female Cirque director, OVO features choreography rooted in capoeira, samba, and street dance - no spoken word, just pure motion.

Internationally acclaimed since its debut in 2009, with 10 million spectators in 40 countries, OVO blends circus, dance, and visual storytelling into a thrilling spectacle.

Expect soaring aerials, foot juggling, and trampoline acts set to Berna Ceppas’s live Brazilian-fusion score and Liz Vandal’s haute couture-style insect costumes.

This show now makes its way to the Royal Albert Hall for a limited run. Book Cirque du Soleil OVO tickets and get your shot to catch this global phenomenon before it sells out.

The story

In OVO, a mysterious egg lands in a bustling insect ecosystem, sparking curiosity, conflict, and ultimately, a tender romance between a fly and a ladybug. Set against a vivid floral backdrop, this 125‑minute circus play weaves themes of community, transformation, and biodiversity through acrobatics and movement. As this tiny society reacts to sudden change, audiences are drawn into nature’s drama, leaving you wondering what happens when life hatches…
