Building the Aqua Theater was quite a challenge
Royal Caribbean International

The AquaTheater on Oasis of the Seas is an engineering marvel, with parts constantly moving and disappearing before the audience's very eyes. See the machinery behind-the-scenes that makes the magic of this 6000-square-foot stage come to life.

It is all about a celebration of water where the pool and lounge area by day is transformed into a theatrical venue with seating for 600 (reservations available) featuring hundreds of water nozzles shooting up to 65 feet high.  The water show, Oasis Dream, is synchronized to music and lights with acrobatics and high-diving taking place in and around the pool. 

Complete with under water cameras to film performers when they have disappeared out of sight and broadcast images on giant LED screens on either side of the stage, the area also features twin diving towers connected by a bridge and a trapeze behind and trampoline between.   Sounds more and more like a Cirque water show to me.    Soon, we will have live footage of the show to share
