\n\tOprah Winfrey<\/a>\u2018s AHA, a new live immersive experience created in collaboration with a global collective of musicians, artists and storytellers will debut at Sphere<\/a> in Las Vegas for one weekend, April 2-4.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe project will see Winfrey appear live on stage alongside a variety of performances in what the announcement calls a \u201cbrand-new visual, musically immersive symphony of senses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWindfrey said \u201c\u2018AHA\u2019 is a dream that came to me as I sat in awe at the opening night of U2 at the Sphere, mesmerized by the possibilities of how the space could be used as a tool for creating greater awareness and understanding of ourselves and our connection to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe two-hour shows will feature performances by Grammy Award-winner Jacob Collier; poet and author Ocean Vuong; musician Ajeet; and gospel singer Wintley Phipps, among others. The show will utilize Sphere\u2019s next-generation technologies, including the world\u2019s highest-resolution LED display that wraps up, over, and around the audience creating a fully immersive visual environment. The venue also features the world\u2019s most advanced concert-grade audio system, Sphere Immersive Sound.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCreating this experience has felt like the culmination of what I\u2019ve spoken about and worked towards my entire life,\u201d Winfrey said in the announcement.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat organizers are calling a \u201cjourney of light, sound, music and storytelling\u201d is designed by director Ethan Tobman and produced by Emmy-winning founder of Silent House Group, Baz Halpin.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe team includes musical direction and original music from Oscar-nominated composer Max Richter; Grammy-winning musician and vocal director Jason White; Grammy-nominated composer, producer, and electronic artist Jon Hopkins; writing from Tarell Alvin McCrane, Oscar-winning screenwriter and Artistic Director of Geffen Playhouse; and original works by artist Es Devlin and the Plum Village Monks.<\/p>\n

\n\tPresented by Live Nation, the event is executive produced by Winfrey, along with Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, producer of The Life You Want Tour, founder of Together Live, and co-founder of Godmothers bookstore; Harpo Entertainment\u2019s EP Tara McNally Montgomery; co-founder and partner of Fulwell Entertainment, Ben Winston; social entrepreneur Andrew Maxwell Mangino; and consulting producer and Pinterest co-founder Evan Sharp.<\/p>\n

\n\tAHA marks a new kind of spectacle for the Sphere, which debuted in 2023 with the inaugural residency of U2 and has or will soon been host to Phish, the Eagles, Kenny Chesney, Backstreet Boys, Car\u00edn Le\u00f3n, Metallica, Anyma and more. It branched into sporting events with the UFC in September of 2024. Its ongoing presentation of The Wizard of Oz, a 75-minute 4D immersive adaptation of the classic 1939 film, in collaboration with Warner Bros., has been extremely popular.<\/p>\n
