Danubius Music - Koncertek - Lord of the Dance

	Fresh off the dancing heels of its 12th anniversary tour, Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance has announced tour dates for the ensuing year, with more than 115 cities in 10 different Countries around the world included in the journey. Michael Flatley, creator and director of this award-winning international dance phenomenon, has proven his vision that hearts and minds, united through music and dance, cross all traditional boundaries. His Lord of the Dance continues to shatter box office records all over the world, leaving audiences breathless and clamoring for more.

Described by the New York Post as "fascinating, rewarding and above all, entertaining," and by the Los Angeles Times as "a showpiece extravaganza," Lord of the Dance is a magical adventure of sight and sound that transports its audience to a mythical time and place, lifting the spirits and capturing the hearts of all who experience it. “Thrilled audiences and standing ovations are frequent reactions worldwide which speak directly to the quality of dancers who I have had the privilege to bring to the stage,” Flatley says. “They give of themselves in a way that is unique alone to Irish dancing, stretching a form of dance that has evolved over more than 2,000 years.” The dancers’ average age is 22, and each one has achieved individual recognition as a national dance champion. “Each one is a superstar,” Flatley adds. More than 100 million people worldwide have seen Lord of the Dance -- the international Irish dancing extravaganza that has performed sold out shows in theaters, arenas and stadiums in over 67 countries. From the moment the lights go down to the last encore, audiences are spellbound by a masterfully orchestrated combination of precision dancing, flawless lighting and an intricately composed score, complimented by chiseled dancers in fantastic costumes.

	Based on Irish folklore, this classic tale of Good vs. Evil, expressed through the universal language of dance, has catapulted Irish dance to a new dimension and unprecedented worldwide acclaim. As the story unfolds, the Little Spirit travels through time to help the Lord of the Dance protect his people from the challenge of Don Dorcha, the Dark Lord. Battle lines are drawn, passions ignite and a love story fueled by the dramatic leaps and turns of dancers’ bodies begins to build against a backdrop of Celtic rhythm. The action is played out over 21 scenes on a grand scale of award-winning dancing, dramatic music, colorful and exquisite costumes and state-of-the-art staging, lighting and pyrotechnic effects.

Flatley, who originated the role of the Lord, is the company’s Artistic Director, a position he has held since the troupe’s stunning 1996 debut in Dublin. Twelve years later, his influence continues to resonate throughout every aspect of the production. Irish dance lovers and music fans alike will get a chance to experience the engaging, rhythmic adventure that has helped catapult Celtic dance mania and Irish dancing into the global spotlight. No wonder Lord of the Dance has jettisoned its ticket sales to more than $800 million worldwide. During its rewarding five-year residency in Las Vegas, an estimated two million people danced along in their seats. Michael Flatley is committed to his art and to giving his audiences "The World's Greatest Dance Show"!
