Cork Opera House was a riot of tapping and clapping on Wednesday evening as Lord of the Dance began its five-day run in the Rebel County — a homecoming of sorts according to show creator Michael Flatley.
Ahead of the performance, Flatley told the Irish Examiner he feels he has been welcomed into the local community in both East Cork, where he purchased Castlehyde estate in 2001, and in Cork city.
