You may have heard about this venue welcoming pop sensations Kylie Minogue and Christina Aguilera, but what you may not know is that Voltaire at The Venetian also has its own production, Belle de Nuit, and it’s a whole lot of fun.
French for “beauty of the night,” Belle de Nuit features striking performers with all kinds of talents, all wrapped up in a Studio 54-esque theme that ensures you’ll never know what to expect next. One minute, you’ll see Joan of Arc take to the pole (and display some impressive athleticism), the next you’ll be wowed by bondage gear-clad aerialists, then slightly Sapphic astronauts and their tandem acrobatics.
It’s obvious this show was created specifically for Voltaire, and it truly uses the space well. Each number allows time for the performers to strut up and down the long runway that juts out from the center of the stage, which is perfect, because each act features stylish and creative wardrobe pieces that really deserve their time in the spotlight. In a stroke of genius, the chairs in the venue swivel! So no, you won’t be uncomfortably craning your neck all night long.
The energy doesn’t stop at the stage, either; performers roam throughout the crowd as guests find their seats and during each number, making the experience feel immersive. If one thing can be said for sure, it’s that there are no bad seats in the house.
Clearly inspired by the exciting nightlife of the disco days, this show acts as almost a hybrid between your typical variety show and a party. A live DJ spins tracks throughout the whole evening, and the emcee pauses the show twice to allow for some moving and grooving while you socialize with those around you.
Don’t forget to glance around the room, as the decor here is like nothing else. Clear bubbles float above plush pink seats while blue and purple-toned lighting illuminates the large crystal-like structures that frame the main stage while the bar in the back of the room buzzes, creating a night on the town you absolutely need to have.
