CIRQUE DU SOLEIL’S LATEST CREATION - LOVE - CELEBRATES LEGACY OF THE BEATLES

Select Media Invited to Exclusive Preview of LOVE at The Mirage In Las Vegas

Story Summary:

Cirque du Soleil, Apple Corps Ltd. and The Mirage are hosting a press conference to PROVIDE A SNEAK PREVIEW OF LOVE, the latest Cirque du Soleil production that celebrates the musical legacy of The Beatles. LOVE will bring the magic of Cirque du Soleil together with the spirit and passion of The Beatles to create an intimate and powerful entertainment experience. The project was born out of a personal friendship and mutual admiration between the late George Harrison and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté. Sir George Martin, the Beatles legendary producer, and his son Giles Martin have spent the last two years with the Beatles master tapes at Abbey Road Studios, creating a unique soundscape for LOVE.

LOVE will be presented in a custom-built theatre at The Mirage featuring 360-degree seating and advance high-definition video projections with 100-foot digital, moving images. Producers say the panoramic sound system will envelop the audience and allow them to experience the music of The Beatles like never before. LOVE opens for preview performances on June 2.
