WINNIPEG, MANITOBA – (Tuesday, December 12, 2017) – Normand Latourelle, Founder and Artistic Director of Cavalia, made a special visit to Winnipeg today to celebrate the much-anticipated return of Cavalia Odysseo next year.

With more than 5000 tickets already sold in only a week, Mr. Latourelle announced the addition of two more weeks of performances to Cavalia Odysseo’s limited run in Winnipeg. Matinee and evening performances are now scheduled through June 10. The newly added performances are now on sale at www.cavalia.com and 1-866-999-8111, or through Ticketmaster. For a limited time only and just in time for the holiday season, attendees who reserve seats online or by phone will automatically receive an up-to-15-percent discount off their ticket purchase.

Latourelle addressed a crowd that included Minister of Sport, Culture and Heritage Cathy Cox and Senior Vice-President Venues and Entertainment, True North Sports + Entertainment Kevin Donnelly, and said Cavalia Odysseo will once again keep people on the edge of their seats and provide an entertainment extravaganza second to none.

“We look forward to returning to Winnipeg in 2018. Your city was so wonderful and made us feel truly welcomed,” said Latourelle. “Since our first visit in town in 2015, we have been travelling the US, playing in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Portland, San Jose, Chicago and Nashville to sold out crowds but no where else have we seen such unprecedented support.  We are thrilled and ready to return to Canada, our homeland, with our show that is in constant evolution. We can’t wait to mesmerize spectators of all ages with the beauty and magic of our show and once again create memories that will last a lifetime.”

Cavalia Odysseo will be presented under the White Big Top at the corner of Sterling Lyon Parkway and Kenaston Boulevard in Winnipeg starting Saturday, May 12.

“We are delighted Cavalia is coming back to our province and know Manitobans will be as excited as they were in 2015, when organizers had to keep adding extra shows because Odysseo was so popular,” said Hon. Cathy Cox, Minister of Sport, Culture and Heritage. “We can’t wait to see that majestic big top grace our prairie skyline once again and we know that beyond that enormous tent, Cavalia’s impact on our province’s economy is significant.”

As service provider, True North Sports + Entertainment looks forward to the impact the show will have on the community once again. “We are absolutely thrilled to have Cavalia Odysseo return to Winnipeg,” said Donnelly. “We packed the tent with enthusiastic crowds night after night the last time this unforgettable production was in town. People travelled great distances to see the show and we have no doubt we will do it once more. It’s truly an exceptional show that everyone should see … again!”

A veritable revolution in live performance, Cavalia Odysseo is a theatrical production that makes hearts race and dazzles spectators. Manitoba audiences will be transported once again on an epic journey by this breathtaking production featuring 65 magnificent horses and 50 talented riders, acrobats, dancers and musicians. This spectacular celebration of horse and man, imagined by Normand Latourelle, one of the co-founders of Cirque du Soleil, is an absolute feast for the eyes that succeeds in delivering soulful and stunning performances. Cavalia Odysseo comprises a list of superlatives: the world’s largest touring big top, the biggest stage, the most beautiful visual effects, and the greatest number of horses at liberty. Since its Montreal world premiere in 2011, the Odysseo troupe has already mesmerized more than 2 million spectators in Canada, United States and Mexico.
