The man behind the biggest grossing tour in the history of entertainment, Michael Flatley, says his flagship European troupe featuring his star protégé Damien O’Kane as the Lord, will provide an “unforgettable” run of performances in the Emirate.
“I have no doubt that Lord of the Dance’s first time showing in Abu Dhabi will be unbelievable,” Flatley said. “It’s always a pleasure to see the show welcomed to new cities around the world and Abu Dhabi is no exception. It still amazes me to this day how our show transcends culture and has such a universal appeal.”
“The troupe performing in Abu Dhabi are looking forward to returning to the region and are preparing to give the audience a night of traditional Irish entertainment that will be unforgettable,” he added.
The European Troupe land in the Emirate on Tuesday ahead of their six live performances, which take place at Abu Dhabi Hall, ADNEC this week from June 23 – 26.
