'''''"O"''''' (it is common to include quotation marks due to its [[One-Letter Title]]) is [[Cirque Du Soleil]]'s eleventh show, which opened at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada in October 1998. It is also, perhaps, the company's [[Magnum Opus]].
 
The setting is a baroque opera house, carrying on from the posh theme of its host hotel, with a red velvet curtain and soaring ceiling. As the lights dim, an "audience member" (Philemon) is surprised twice over -- first by a nymph-like woman who descends from the top of the dome and drops a red scarf to him, and second by someone beckoning to him from behind the curtain. Curious, he goes up to see what the stranger wants. Said stranger (Le Vieux) turns out to be the theater's guardian...because it's no ordinary theater. Philemon has just become the leading man in a unique adventure...
