The internationally acclaimed Cavalia pushes the limits of live entertainment with its newest production, Odysseo, making its L.A. premiere in Downtown Burbank on Wednesday, February 27 at 8:00 pm. Cavalia’s Odysseo is a theatrical experience, an ode to horse and man that marries the equestrian arts, awe-inspiring acrobatics and high-tech theatrical effects.

Under the luxurious 10-story White Big Top, a dream-like world will transport audiences as 61 horses and an international cast of 44 artists play and demonstrate their intimate bond. The 15,000 square-foot stage features a real carousel and a magically appearing 80,000-gallon lake in front of a stunning video backdrop the size of 3 IMAX screens.

Ticket prices range from $34.50 to $149.50. Additionally, the Rendez-Vous VIP package offers the best seats in the house, dinner prior to the show, an open bar, dessert at intermission, and a photo opportunity with the artists and a tour of the Cavalia’s Odysseo stables. The VIP experience is held in exclusive, luxury tent adjacent to the White Big Top where the performance is held. Packages range from $154.50 to $259.50.
