Sharing the magnificent stage with 50 riders, acrobats, aerialists, and musicians, the 70 majestic horses stole the spotlight during this unique theatrical extravaganza, which ended with rapturous applause and a standing ovation.

Before the opening night show, more than 500 VIP patrons were treated to a delicious buffet and a variety of sumptuous desserts prepared by Cavalia Odysseo head chef José Acevedo in the Rendez-Vous VIP lounge.
