Carol Cling of the Las Vegas Review-Journal has an interesting bit about Cirque du Soleil this morning, the company and its Las Vegas productions are going to feature in a PBS special airing this Dececmber.
Titled “Cirque du Soleil: Flowers in the Desert,” the two-hour show will focus on Cirque’s permanent Las Vegas extravaganzas, according to Jennifer Kowalczyk, director of communications for Mountain Lake PBS of Plattsburgh, N.Y., which is producing the show.
“Cirque hasn’t been on PBS for years,” she notes — but this special, shot in high-definition digital video, will change all that.Most of the program’s Cirque footage already has been taped, Kowalczyk explains, but this week’s shoot will concentrate on behind-the-scenes footage at several Cirque shows — along with pledge-break material.
Although specific shows to be featured hadn’t been determined by deadline (Bellagio’s “O,” MGM Grand’s “Ka,” Mirage’s “Love” and Aria’s “Viva Elvis” are reported possibilities), this week’s shoot also is expected to feature background footage of the Strip — including views shot from the top of the Trump hotel.
