Miami, FL – March 2, 2012 – Wednesday night marked the opening of Cavalia’s most recent show, Odysseo. The reviews are in: Cavalia’s Odysseo is an experience that is unparalleled within the world of theater, and is an encounter the audience will never forget. Odysseo is the largest touring production in the world, constructed beneath a tent, The White Big Top, and seats over 2,000 people. It features a stage that is double the size of Cavalia’s original design. The production was constructed in Downtown Miami, FL, within Bicentennial Park.

Each seat in the house opening night was sold, with people waiting in line to see if they could snatch up tickets in the chance of an absence. Every seat offers an unobstructed view of the majesty that waits upon the stage, almost as if it is an IMAX production with a live performance unfolding before the audience’s eyes.

The title, “Odysseo”, means Odyssey, and the show depicts nothing less than its headline. It provided a journey throughout the most astounding landscapes from across the globe with 70 horses and 50 performers showcasing the impossible while journeying across desert terrains, valleys and mountains.

Wellington, FL – February 27, 2012 – Mason Phelps Radio’s eighth segment will be held on Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. EST on W4CY.com. Media Personality Steve Williams will be co-hosting alongside Phelps once again, and this week will feature Benjamin Aillaud and Whitney Tower as guests. Phelps and Williams, along with their esteemed guests, will discuss the up and coming Cavalia show, as well as how to get a different perspective on life from an editor of Town and Country Magazine.

Equestrian Director and Choreographer Benjamin Aillaud will be the first guest on this week’s show. Aillaud has been involved with horses ever since childhood. At the age of six, he bought his first horse and began jumping, vaulting, Western riding, learning dressage and carriage riding for pleasure. From that moment on, his objectives and philosophy began to take shape – training versatile horses that will enjoy and maintain their interest in performing. At the age of 33, his career is already impressive as twice vice-champion of the World for his efforts in four-horse carriage driving as well as four-time champion of France in four-horse carriage. Aillaud has also directed equestrian shows, and since 2009 he has acted as Equestrian Director for Cavalia’s productions, including the most recent Cavalia’s Odysseo.
