Barrel Organ in Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas
By Philippe Rouillé

Dear MMDs,  A recent advertisement for Las Vegas in a French newspaper
showed a photo of an artist (featuring an athlete) playing a portable
monkey organ (apparently a 24- or 27-key small pipe organ).

It seems to be part of a performance, named "O", by the "Cirque du
Soleil", a French Canadian ensemble performing in the "Bellagio".
Just for sheer curiosity, does anyone have seen this performance ?

Best regards,

Philippe Rouille  (Paris, France)
