Intense choreography creates a breathtaking “killer whale ballet” of grace and agility, as every movement of the powerful whales – each weighing 6,000 to 10,000 pounds -- is matched to the corresponding beat of a stirring, original musical score.
The centerpiece of the set design is a 3-story tail fluke flanked by four, 20-foot-wide video screens which operate independently and also move together to create a single, 80-foot-long panoramic screen. Those screens provide guests at Shamu Stadium with views of the whales from above- and below-water cameras, including, for the first time, a camera suspended directly over the main show pool.
The sophisticated audio system that creates the soundscapes for “Believe” contains nearly 100 speakers throughout the stadium for a complete surround sound experience. The musical score has been composed exclusively for this show, and the killer whale behaviors choreographed to match each beat.
In addition to SeaWorld Orlando, SeaWorld parks in San Diego and San Antonio will also present “Believe.” Between the three parks, SeaWorld’s trainers have developed a repertoire of nearly 160 killer whale behaviors, 100 of which will be part of the shows.
