The company’s celebration of the insect world is set to create quite the buzz
Cirque du Soleil has confirmed the return of OVO, running at the Royal Albert Hall in London from January.
The production, last performed at the venue in 2018, promises a reimagined set design alongside new characters, music and acrobatic acts to recreate the insect world. It boasts 53 performers and musicians, including Hammersmith-born Robin Bear in the role of The Voyager, under artistic director Lydia Harper, originally from Warwick.
Created in 2009, OVO tells the love story of a quirky fly and a spirited ladybug, centering around a mysterious egg that sparks curiosity and transformation. It has been seen by over seven million people in more than 40 countries.
The production is scheduled for a limited four-week run from 9 January to 1 February 2026, with tickets going on general sale, this Friday, 18 July.
