When the opportunity arises to witness dazzling dancers from Lord of the Dance and Riverdance all in the one show, you’d be a fool to pass it up. Well, you now have the chance to do just that because A Taste of Ireland returns to Melbourne from March 17 until May 26. You can catch this energetic extravaganza all across Victoria, including: Melbourne CBD, Dandenong, Moonee Ponds, Wangaratta, Preston and St Kilda.
Kicking off on St Patrick's Day at The Palms at Crown, A Taste of Ireland combines world-class Irish dancing, melodic folk music mashups, live acapella tap battles and craic galore for an exceptional night of entertainment. You can expect to hear classic tunes you know and love like ‘Danny Boy’ and ‘Tell Me Ma’, made all the more enthralling by brand new sets, costumes and effects, all of which will take you on a journey through Ireland’s tumultuous history.
The show’s intricate dance routines are choreographed by national champion Brent Pace and Ceili Moore, world champion and former lead dancer in Micheal Flatley’s Lord of the Dance. This duo have made a name for themselves on international stages over the last few decades, however they’re both from Irish dancing families in Australia – giving this show a unique local connection.
A Taste of Ireland is going on tour across Australia with one stopover in the Darwin and shows across New South Wales from April 12 to May 5, before returning to Melbourne for three final shows.
