Cavalia (23 Aug 2014)

 

Last weekend, we brought Deborah and David, together with their cousin, Gabrielle, to watch Cavalia. The white tall tentage makes it difficult to miss once you arrive at Bayfront Ave, which is situated right beside Marina Bay Sands.
 

 

It was the kiddos' first cirque performance and of course, we were all very eager and excited. The kids enjoyed the show thoroughly, especially David. He was clapping so enthusiastically every time the horses came on stage. And yes, I was really impressed by the stallions that were obviously well-bred. The silky fur and sturdiness of the stallions were indeed impressive. And I haven't talked about the stunts performed by the trainers with the stallions. Those were simply WOW!

 
We were not allowed to take any photographs or videos during the show... so this was the only photo I managed to steal a shot. This was the finale where half the stage was filled with water, and the horses and their trainers performed their daring stunts.
 
The digital multimedia background that screened breath-taking scenes were projected by 16-18 digital projectors, and it was picture-perfect. A live band (hidden behind the screens) was also among the things that made the entire show spectacular. We did not even realise the music during the entire show was played by the live band until it was nearing the end of the show, when the background was dimmed and the spot lights were turned towards them.
 
It was worth the money we paid. Even daddy commented that this was one of the best acrobat shows he has watched. We paid for seats that cost $98 per person. But we realised the seating capacity is actually limited, so it is alright to pay for the lowest range ticket and still get a good view. Just avoid those seats that are partially blocked by the pillars.
 
For drivers, you may wish to know that we parked at the open space carpark just beside the tentage. Just be there early (at least 30 minutes before the show) so you don't have to queue to get into the carpark.
