Dita Von Teese is set to dazzle audiences at The Venetian, launching a new burlesque show at the Voltaire Theater on September 19. Known for her iconic Champagne bath routine, Von Teese recently concluded her “Dita Las Vegas” show at the Horseshoe Las Vegas in June.
“This exquisite jewel-box theater compliments the timeless allure of my show,” Von Teese enthused in a press statement. “And what could be better than splashing around in my giant Champagne glass, with the sparkling bubbles of Voltaire floating throughout the room? I’m brimming with excitement!”
Dubbed the “international queen of burlesque,” Von Teese’s previous show at the Jubilee Theater ended on June 15, likely due to lackluster ticket sales—a common fate for Las Vegas productions. At 51, Von Teese will continue to captivate audiences with her signature burlesque acts and extravagant costumes, some designed by Bob Mackie for the final “Jubilee!” showgirl performance. The new venue, Voltaire, accommodates up to 1,000 patrons, just slightly smaller than her former stage.
Her opening comes shortly after pop sensation Christina Aguilera concludes her residency at Voltaire on Labor Day Weekend. Aguilera debuted her show, along with the venue itself, last November.
The upcoming production is helmed by Live Nation Las Vegas, in collaboration with the Voltaire and its founder, Michael Gruber. Gruber expressed his excitement, saying, “Upon entering Voltaire, guests are transported to another era through the venue’s art deco design and cabaret setup, making it the perfect venue for Dita, her sparkling costuming, and effervescent charm.”
The Venetian hinted at the big reveal on Monday, tweeting a video featuring glittering high heels ascending the stairs to the Voltaire stage with the caption: “Guess who’s stepping into the spotlight at Voltaire soon…”
Tickets for Dita Von Teese’s new show will be available starting 10 a.m. Thursday, August 16, at voltairelv.com.
