Cirque du Soleil in Kazakhstan: How the OVO show captivated Astana and Almaty
In June 2026, the OVO show from the world-famous Cirque du Soleil toured Kazakhstan to great acclaim. This event was made possible by the efforts of Asia Events, led by Dmitry Tyo, who conceived the idea of bringing the circus show to the country following the successful EXPO 2017 exhibition in Astana. Preparations for the tour were lengthy and meticulous: coordinating all the details took about a year and a half.Before signing the contract, a Cirque du Soleil technical commission arrived in Kazakhstan to evaluate the venues in Almaty and Astana. Particular attention was paid to safety and the ability to assemble the complex structures required for the show. The team brought with them almost the entire infrastructure: sets, acrobatic equipment, musical instruments, costumes, and even industrial washing machines. Two Boeing cargo planes with a combined lifting capacity of approximately 200 tons were needed to deliver this equipment.
The OVO show took place in the country's largest arenas: in Astana, it took place from June 4 to 8 and attracted over 25,000 spectators. In Almaty, the organizers expected at least 30,000 people, with the venue's occupancy rate at the premiere being approximately 80%. The project's total budget was approximately $5 million, making it one of the largest entertainment events in Kazakhstan in recent years.
