A trailblazing new show is to tour the UK for the first time, promising an incredible blend of Irish dancing, cinematic production, and an awe-inspiring musical score, all coming together in one unique theatrical spectacle.
Celtic Throne – Psalter of Ireland takes traditional Irish dance and modernizes it by blending it with theatre and even some jaw-dropping gymnastics and martial arts. The innovative choreography is brought to life by a cast of 40+ performers, including live musicians, enhanced by stunning costumes, an elaborate set, incredible lighting and special effects, and dramatic video storytelling on a gigantic LED screen
After performing more than 70 shows across the US (including at the iconic Ryman Auditorium, the former home of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville), the first ever Celtic Throne UK tour will begin at Birmingham Symphony Hall on 22nd June, travelling onto Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, and Derby before its finale at London’s Eventim Apollo.
This is the second production created by Celtic Throne, a group of US-based Irish dancers taught and mentored by John Carey, an eight-times World Champion Irish dancer, the former male lead of Lord of the Dance, and the Irish dance choreographer of Heartbeat of Home.
Celtic Throne—Psalter of Ireland presents a mysterious and epic story from the ancient Irish annals about the revered sage, Ollav Fola. The music was written by Brian Byrne, the Golden Globe nominated composer who has worked across theatre, Hollywood films, and with performers such as Bono and Sinead O’Connor. Byrne wrote the music for the acclaimed Irish dance show, Heartbeat of Home.
