Cirque Du Soleil CRYSTAL's Upcoming Ice Spectacle at Abu Dhabi's Etihad Arena

Abu Dhabi, UAE (19 April 2024): Mark your calendars for another level of excitement as there is now just a week remaining until the curtains rise on a truly breathtaking entertainment phenomenon. The anticipation is mounting and reaching a fever pitch for the thrilling premiere of Cirque du Soleil CRYSTAL, which is set to take over the Etihad Arena - Yas Island, Abu Dhabi in less than one week. This unique production, proudly presented by Live Nation Middle East and SES Live, will run from April 26th to May 5th, marking its groundbreaking debut in the UAE.

Cirque du Soleil CRYSTAL is not just another Cirque show and nothing like you’ve ever witnessed before.

The show ventures into unexplored territory, transforming the ice into a dynamic stage where precision skating mingles with awe-inspiring aerial feats and acrobatic prowess.

Viewers of all ages can look forward to marvelling at the compelling storyline that follows Crystal, a young girl who feels misunderstood, as she goes on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Through a stunning display of visual effects and multimedia, her world is vividly painted on the ice in real time, using state-of-the-art infrared trackers with 36 spotlights and 28 powerful projectors that create a visually mesmerising experience. These technological innovations ensure that no two performances are exactly alike, with the action dynamically unfolding around the skaters and acrobats.

The musical backdrop enhances this magical atmosphere with a mix of original scores and popular hits, including tracks like “Chandelier” by Sia, “Sinner Man” by Nina Simone, “A Beautiful Day” by U2 and “Halo” by Beyoncé all adding to the atmposphere. Each of these elements comes together and seamlessly intertwines to not only tell a story but also evoke deep emotions and a sense of wonder amongst every single attendee. The whole show is about looking at things through fresh angles, peeking through the veneer of everyday life, and reframing one’s daily realities.

Highlight moments to anticipate include the high-energy Hockey act, the poetic and romantic Straps act, and the precision-driven Chair and Hand to Trapeze acts. The grand finale promises to be a heartwarming culmination of Crystal’s journey, leaving audiences inspired and uplifted.
