Celtic Fire Coming to bergenPAC, 3/17
Michael Londra's Celtic Fire focuses on the traditional culture of song and dance in Ireland that generates an electric atmosphere that sweeps audiences away to Ireland, its culture, its land, its pubs, its music and its heart. Traditional dance presented by world champion Irish dancers, the show has a vital feel; cast members are more creative and dynamic, audiences are more engaged and everyone leaves the show feeling they have been more involved and have had more of an insight into what Ireland and its country really is.
Michael Londra has been described as "one of the greatest Irish singers of all our time." Since his breakthrough role as the Voice of Riverdance on Broadway, Londra has become one of the top international soloists. His credits include two Emmy nominations, Best Irish Tenor at the 2012 Irish Music Awards, "Danny Boy" with over 6.5 million views on YouTube, Special Guest to the 50th anniversary of JFK's visit to Ireland, and a TV special titled Michael Londra's Beyond Celtic aired across the USA over 400 times.
Michael Londra is from the opera capital of Ireland, a small town on the South East coast called Wexford. At the age of 31 he decided to follow his heart and started singing professionally. His leap of faith was rewarded when he soon became a leading man in musical theater in Dublin playing many roles. Since then Michael has sung lead in first the Riverdance tour of North America 1998 as well as Riverdance on Broadway 2000 and 2001 and produced his own PBS special titled "Beyond Celtic" which aired nationally over 300 times in 2011.
