Cavalia raises the big top for 'Odysseo' in Camarillo

Staff reports

A 12-story-tall tent was erected near Highway 101 and Santa Rosa Road in Camarillo in preparation for the Ventura County debut of "Odysseo" by Cavalia.

The raising of the big, white circus tent off Highway 101 in Camarillo means the Cirque du Soleil-style equestrian show called "Odysseo" is closer to making its Ventura County debut.

The performance from Montreal-based Cavalia includes acrobatics, 65 horses, stunt performers and special effects to tell the story of the relationship between man, horse and nature.

Its eight-week run starts on Nov. 11 with performances at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Presale tickets range from $49.50 for an obstructed view to $234.50 for a premium VIP package. For more information, head to http://www.cavalia.com/venturacounty.
