Love is
a 2006 theatrical production by Cirque du Soleil which combines the
re-produced and re-imagined music of the Beatles with an
interpretive, circus-based artistic and athletic stage performance. The show
plays at a specially built theatre at The Mirage in Las Vegas.
A joint venture between Cirque
and the Beatles' Apple Corps Ltd, it is the first theatrical production
that Apple Corps Ltd. has partnered in. Love is written and
directed by Dominic Champagne. Music directors are Sir George
Martin, producer of nearly all of the Beatles' records, and his son, record
producer Giles Martin. A soundtrack album of the show was
released in November 2006.
Created by French designer Jean
Rabasse, the Love theater at The Mirage houses 6,341
speakers and 2,013 seats set around a central stage. Each seat is fitted with
three speakers, including a pair
in the headrest. The sound system was designed by Jonathan Deans. The stage
includes 11 lifts, 4 traps, and eight automated tracks and trolleys. Each lift
is capable of lifting 20,000 pounds

The LOVE theatre
features 24 digital projectors that are used in the show. Everything is digital
from source to screen, making very large high definition digital 100’ wide
panoramic images. Video images on two walls above the audience on two sides of
the auditorium emphasize elements of the show and provide transitions.
High-definition projectors also create enormous images (designed by Francis
Laporte) on four translucent screens that can be unfurled to divide the
auditorium.
