The experience
A 90-minute aqua-acrobatic spectacle, staged by the founder of Cirque du Soleil.
La Perle is a resident production by Franco Dragone — the director behind several of Cirque du Soleil’s best-known shows — built around a stage that transforms between dry performance space and a pool holding 2.7 million litres of water. Acrobats, divers and aerialists perform across both, with 3D projection and surround sound woven through the choreography.
The show draws loosely on local themes and imagery without narrating a fixed story, so it plays as pure spectacle rather than something to follow scene by scene — a considered choice of evening for guests who want a polished, high-production performance rather than dinner theatre.
A VIP ticket adds a lounge with appetisers and soft drinks, a complimentary arrival drink and valet parking, useful for a couple marking an occasion or a group wanting a smoother arrival.
