Question of Taste: Philip Connaughton on Wagner, Kubrick, and the Dying Swan

In advance of his new show at Cork Opera House, the choreographer selects some of his favourite dance pieces and other inspirations 

Philip Connaughton brings his Love Songs show to Cork Opera House. 

Philip Connaughton is a Dublin-based choreographer. His latest show, Love Songs, features a cast of eight dancers, and is at Cork Opera House for one night only on Wednesday, February 22. Previously, he had choreographed Party Scene, which premiered at Cork Midsummer Festival last year. “My work is the outcome of quite an eclectic career (musical theatre, contemporary dance, opera) and is increasingly autobiographical in nature,” says Connaughton.
