Michael Flatley's show seduce a large public every time. And with good cause... Halfway between musical comedy and a contemporary ballet, this musical show, true anthem to Ireland, has its story and its tradition and gives you the most beautiful gift: a dream. It also contributed to the worldwide popular success that Irish dancing now knows.
For the last couple of years, the Celtic culture has largely exceeded its borders. Better: as the phenomenon is generally short lived but the success of Celtic culture seems here to stay. Everywhere were he goes, Michael Flatley keeps drawing in larger and larger crowds, to such an extent that other companies mimicking Michael's work have now been created.
Since the beginning
Never have a choreographer and his troupe of dancers been so much talked about. Lord of the Dance is one of the most mind-blowing dance shows in the world. Reference in the genre, the "Lord" is resurrecting his famous and show-stopping charisma in an never-seen before show. Lord of the Dance tells the story of Ireland, of its nation and traditions through a unbelievable light, dance and special effect combo. Shown in the entire world, the shows have immediately conquered more than 75 million spectators, who have come and cheered for him at some point. Since the premiere, at Dublin's Point Theatre, in 1996, Lord of the Dance has conquered the planet. It's the first show of its kind to have filled Wembley Arena 21 times. Today, no less than 4 groups tour simultaneously in Japan, South Africa, Europe and the USA.Recipe for its success
A new concept, a creative staging, original music and astonishing choreographies. In the same vein as the previous shows, this new production has the same ingredients that have allowed Michael Flatley to be so successful: rhythm, grace, charisma, strength and stamina. This new show, subtle mix of precision, power and emotion, shows us all the talent of this unusual choreographer.
