Dance of the Emerald Isle

Dance of the Emerald Isle is coming to Abu Dhabi for the first time, bringing Irish music, song, and dance to the stage at the Cultural Foundation.

Fresh from its world premiere and a five-star review, the production presents a live journey through Ireland’s traditions, music, stories, and cultural heritage. Created by producer Chris Hannon, a former Lord of the Dance star and the creator of Murphy’s Celtic Legacy, the show brings together dancers, musicians, and singers for a performance inspired by Irish culture.

The production explores the character of the Emerald Isle through traditional Irish music, energetic dance performances, and live vocals, drawing inspiration from all 32 counties of Ireland.

A Journey Through Irish Music and Dance

Dance of the Emerald Isle is built around the relationship between Irish music, song, and dance, combining these elements in a live theatrical production.

World-class dancers, musicians, and singers come together on stage to present a performance that moves between traditional sounds, rhythmic dance sequences, and Irish songs. The production also draws on Ireland’s mythical stories and ancient sites, adding cultural and historical themes to the performance.

For audiences in Abu Dhabi, the show offers an opportunity to experience elements of Irish culture through a live performance rather than a conventional concert or dance presentation.

From Ireland to Abu Dhabi

Chris Hannon brings his experience as a former Lord of the Dance performer and the creator of Murphy’s Celtic Legacy to the production.

The show’s programme is designed to capture different aspects of Irish cultural identity, from traditional music and dance to the stories and heritage associated with Ireland’s regions.

At the Cultural Foundation, these elements will come together in a stage production that introduces Abu Dhabi audiences to the music, movement, and storytelling of the Emerald Isle.

The performance is presented in English and is suitable for audiences aged two and above. Children under two may be seated on a parent’s lap.
