Cirque du Soleil recently announced that it will relaunch its two longest-running live shows in Las Vegas – “Mystère” and “O” – in time for the July Fourth weekend. This return signals the company’s return to its biggest and most lucrative market and its first steps back onto the world stage since the COVID-19 pandemic hit and came on the heels of an announcement by Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak that entertainment venues will be allowed to open at 100% capacity by June 1.

“I think our opening becomes the symbol that entertainment is back,” said Cirque Chief Executive Daniel Lamarre. “We are intertwined. We are Vegas, and Vegas is Cirque du Soleil.”
