About
Mystère by Cirque du Soleil is a theatrical production that combines acrobatics, dance, music, and visual effects to create a captivating, immersive experience. Presented at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, Mystère is one of Cirque du Soleil's longest-running shows.
If you've never seen a Cirque du Soleil production, you are missing out on something unique and special. I've seen a number of them, and they are all wonderful. Every show displays athleticism, inspiring music, humor, drama, top-notch performances, and fascinating visuals.
Each Cirque du Soleil show has its own theme and storyline. Mystère revolves around the origins of human life and our connection with the universe. The production incorporates over a thousand spotlights, a rotating platform, and has an array of unique characters.
From high-flying acrobatics to awe-inspiring contortion acts, Mystère is meticulously choreographed to create an unforgettable visual spectacle that will keep the audience spellbound from start to finish.
While children of all ages are permitted at the show, it might not be appropriate for toddlers or energetic little ones. Most people over seven will be captivated for the entire show, but it runs approximately ninety minutes long. Use your best judgment when deciding if your child can last the whole time.
