Celtic Kanan: Irish music and dance at the Salle Pleyel

Celtic Kanan presents The Voyage at the Salle Pleyel in Paris, on 10 November 2026 at 8:00 PM. The show fuses live Celtic music with Irish dancing, featuring choreography by Joanne Doyle, former principal dancer of Riverdance.

The project unfolds as a voyage weaving Ireland, Scotland, and Brittany together. Musicians and dancers form a crew that sails through the atmospheres of pubs, ports, and legendary shores. This narrative thread ties the musical and choreographic tableaux into a seamless whole.

Bagpipes, fiddles, flutes, bodhráns and Irish bouzoukis help shape the score. Celtic Kanan bridges the traditional music of the Celtic regions with his own musical universe, while dance moves to the rhythms rendered on stage.

Joanne Doyle directs the dancers in this production, after a career shaped by Michael Flatley’s shows and Riverdance. The show runs for about two hours. The Paris date features reserved, numbered seating, with tickets from 49 euros; the remaining stops on the tour take place outside the Île-de-France region.
