Cirque du Soleil’s 'Ovo' set to light up Tarragona with fresh take on classic show

Cirque du Soleil is bringing a renewed version of its popular production Ovo (Portuguese for "egg") to the Tarraco Arena in Tarragona this December. 

Originally launched 15 years ago, the show returns with a new creative twist, offering audiences updated staging, reimagined costumes, refreshed music, and new acrobatic sequences, all while keeping its original cast of insect-inspired characters. 

Among the highlights are crickets leaping across trampolines and spiders twisting and turning through their webs, creating a whimsical world that "celebrates the energy of life." 

Following performances in more than 40 countries, Ovo kicks off its latest tour across North America and Europe. Tarragona will be one of the key stops on the European leg of the journey, featuring a talented cast of 53 acrobats and musicians who will bring this show to the stage. 

The show will run in Tarragona from December 18 to 21, with tickets going on sale this Wednesday.
