When Cirque du Soleil began planning their 2026 London residency with OVO, they knew exactly who to call. Having worked seamlessly with our team during Corteo, they valued our understanding of their tight production schedules, our technical expertise, and our ability to work efficiently within the unique constraints of the Royal Albert Hall.
This wasn’t a last-minute scramble, it was a strategic decision. Cirque du Soleil wanted a partner who understood the demands of their world-renowned productions and could deliver thorough, professional testing without disrupting their carefully orchestrated load-in schedule. STLS was their first choice.
Final Touches
Our service engineers arrived prepared and ready, drawing on the experience gained from the previous year’s production. We conducted comprehensive testing of lighting fixtures, audio equipment, and power distribution systems, methodically working through every component to guarantee compliance and optimal performance.
The familiarity with the venue and Cirque du Soleil’s workflow meant we could work more efficiently than ever. Our team integrated seamlessly with the production crew, completing all testing well within the required timeframe and ensuring the technical infrastructure was show-ready for OVO’s opening night.
OVO is a vibrant celebration of insect life featuring breathtaking aerial performances, intricate choreography, and stunning visual design presents its own unique technical challenges. From the towering 19-meter climbing wall to the dynamic lighting that brings the miniature world to life, every element needed to be perfect. STLS ensured it was.
Being invited back speaks volumes. In the live events industry, repeat business is the ultimate validation of quality work, and Cirque du Soleil’s decision to work with STLS again confirms what we already knew: when it matters most, our team delivers.
