Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance

• Date: February 22, 2010

• Presented By: Blumenthal Performing Arts Center

• Location: Belk Theater (130 North Tryon St.)

• Price: Prices begin at $19.50

Show Description

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 mesmerizing blend of traditional and modern Celtic music and dance. The story is based upon mythical Irish folklore as Don Dorcha, Lord of Darkness, challenges the ethereal lord of light, the Lord of the Dance. 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 precision dancing, dramatic music, colorful costumes and state-of-the-art staging and lighting.

Lord of the Dance (http://www.lordofthedance.com) will perform one show only at the Belk Theater -- don't miss it!

Earlier this year, cast members Scott Doherty and Michael McHugh (McHugh for The category of dancers under age 18) were crowned world champions at the World Irish Dance Championships. Doherty and McHugh beat out more than 6000 dancers representing five continents over the eight-day competition.

Show Description

"David Garrett is already the stuff of legend - in him is enshrined an entire corpus of virtuoso violin art, expounded with a fearsome beauty beyond comprehension." -BBC Music Magazine

Dubbed, "the fastest violinist in the world," by German paper Kolner Stadt-Anzeigere, David will be in the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records, as the fastest-ever performer of the Flight of the Bumblebee, clocking in at a blistering 66 seconds.

At age eight, he was being booked to play as a soloist in front of some of the world's greatest orchestras, including the London Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Russian National Orchestra. When he was twelve, he was performing alongside legend Yehudi Menuhin. When he turned thirteen, he was signed to one of the most famous and prestigious classical music labels in the world, Deutsche Grammophon, as a solo artist.

David has carved out a unique and wholly new artistic path, one that pays as much homage to Metallica as to Mozart. His daring journey from classical wunderkind to mature and highly adventurous artist has been fulfilling not just for him personally, but clearly resonates with an enormous worldwide audience. David Garrett is already a huge star in Europe, as well as the Far East. He plays nightly to thousands of adoring fans, particularly in Germany where he has already completed a sold-out arena tour, conquered the charts and garnered two gold discs for both of his records released there.

Don't miss your chance to see David Garrett live on stage in Charlotte, NC. WTVI is the media sponsor of this concert.
