AT THE SHOW SITE IN NASHVILLE IN ADVANCE OF OPENING NIGHT, AUGUST 30

NASHVILLE, TN (Friday, August 25, 2017) #OdysseoTN – Sixty-five majestic horses, stars of the $30 million theatrical production Odysseo by Cavalia, have officially taken up residence at their new home in Nashville in their spacious stable tent next to the show’s signature White Big Top near Opryland, ahead of the equestrian extravaganza’s opening night on August 30. Upon their arrival at The White Big Top, the horses will start rehearsals and reconnect with their human co-stars.

The sixty-five Odysseo horses of 12 different breeds – including Appaloosa, Arabian, Canadian Horse, Holsteiner, Lusitano, Paint Horse, Percheron Hanoverian Cross, Quarter Horse, French Saddle Horse, Thoroughbred, Spanish Purebred (P.R.E.) and Warlander – have arrived at the show site in Nashville following a 10-day vacation at a local farm in Franklin, TN. The specially equipped trailers transporting the four-legged stars were the last to arrive of the 110 semi-trailer trucks necessary to move the world’s largest touring production from its latest stop in Toronto, Canada.

Before, during and after transport, a 20-person stables team including trainers, health technicians and grooms create a comfortable environment and provide the horses with daily health care, grooming and activities. Once settled in the 17,200 square-foot stable tent, the horses each have a designated box with ample space to stretch, lie down, sprawl out, roll and relax. They always have the same neighbors to ensure a familiar and comforting environment in each city.

Every day the horses receive their share of pampering, including showers, grooming, massages, workshops with their riders, and outings to the paddocks where they roam and play. The performance aspect for each horse lasts roughly 12 minutes. The rest of their daily activities also include warm-up and free time. Odysseo’s horse training is based on communication, observation and patience as well as a keen understanding of each horse’s talents and needs. The tone of the show, embraced by the entire company, is one of mutual respect, kindness and trust.

With only five days before the first performance of Odysseo by Cavalia in Nashville, hundreds of workers are completing the installation of the largest touring production in the world.

Odysseo is a show unlike any other on the planet. It is a unique theatrical production and a grandiose multi-dimensional spectacle. Audiences are taken to a live Hollywood-style movie set, where the moving interactions between human and horse are at the heart of the action. On an enormous stage, layers of mesmerizing decor are combined with live music, gravity-defying acrobatics and aerial stunts. Add the staggering effects created by state-of-the-art scenery and you have a sumptuous feast for the eyes.
