Lucy swoops on a trapeze across a sky twinkling with diamonds, Mr Kite presides over a psychedelic circus of stiltwalkers and acrobats, and the unmistakable voices of John, Paul, George and Ringo fill the surround sound-equipped arena.

With a little help from a lot of friends, The Beatles are brought back to life in a Cirque du Soleil spectacular that marks the band's first agreement to collaborate on a stage show.

In the desert gambling city of Las Vegas, the Canadian acrobatic troupe Cirque du Soleil on Friday opens its "Love" celebration of the musical legacy of The Beatles that was almost five years in the making.

"Love" was born of a friendship between the late George Harrison and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte. It was blessed by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, supported by John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono, and masterminded musically by legendary Beatles producer Sir George Martin.

McCartney, Starr, Yoko Ono, Martin and Harrison's widow Olivia are expected to attend Friday night's premiere along with Lennon's sons Julian and Sean, his first wife Cynthia and Harrison's children Blair and Dhani.

Played in a custom-built, 2,000-seat theater at the Mirage hotel, "Love" takes its audience on a part-chronological, part-fantasy journey through the life and times of the four young men from Liverpool who inspired a worldwide Beatlemania that continues 40 years after their first hit record.
