For the first time, music, magic, Celtic culture and dance combine for a once-in-a-lifetime performance on a Victoria stage next month.

Australian-produced Celtic Illusions brings performers from around the globe together for an BԪַelectrifyingBԪַ fused dance and magic show unlike anything else.

For the first time, Celtic Illusions is coming to Canada, bringing BԪַgrand illusions,BԪַ modern Irish dance and BԪַmind-blowing magicBԪַ to stages across the country for six weeks.

BԪַThis is the furthest the show has come since it premiered in 2011,BԪַ said creator and choreographer Anthony Street. BԪַI think that with hard work and determination, the show is at a standard now where itBԪַs internationally recognized.BԪַ

Internationally-acclaimed dancers, new choreography and magical illusions are paired to a BԪַlush and modernBԪַ musical score by Angela Little, co-composer of Baz LuhrmanBԪַs film Australia, and Steve Skinner, who has worked with artists such as Celine Dion and Stevie Wonder.

Street, a longtime Irish dancer and former star of Lord of the Dance, single-handedly produced the show, investing his own money and time over the years. He said it was a combination of perfectionism and dedication that raised the standard and took the performance overseas.

Street is inspired by the colours and theatrics of Cirque du Soleil.

BԪַIBԪַm always pushing to make the show better and better,BԪַ he said. BԪַIn my mind the concept is amazing. ItBԪַs unique, itBԪַs different. ItBԪַs one of the most unique combinations of two art forms out there.BԪַ

Street said even those on the fence should keep an open mind toward the unique spectacle.

BԪַItBԪַs a high energy, fast-paced production that will have you on the edge of your seat,BԪַ he said. BԪַItBԪַs something you have to see to believe.BԪַ

Celtic Illusions comes to VictoriaBԪַs Royal Theatre on March 2. Tickets can be purchased online at .
