Mythology
"Voices call from the old days, Voices tell from the past, Ancient laws and ancient old ways to recast." (Voices opening
number from Mythology)
Mythology is the latest show from Celtic Thunder and the show's 9th special for Public Television. Filmed on location at
the Helix Theater in Dublin (where they filmed their debut show in 2007), it's fitting that Celtic Thunder have chosen to
return to their roots in order to film this musical odyssey back to the heart of the Celt. The opening number for
Mythology is an original piece called Voices written expressly as an opener for the new show. Voices, quoted above, is
collaboration between Celtic Thunder Musical Director David Munro and world-renowned composer Brendan Graham,
who also composed the international hit "You Raise Me Up."
The core theme of Mythology is found in the opening number "Voices call from the old days, Voices tell from the past,
Ancient laws and ancient old ways to recast." It's the story of the Celts in Ireland, their legends, their history and their
stories. It's the lifeblood of modern day Ireland and it's influences from our Celtic past, which are still carried in each
one of us as part of who we are and where we come from.
The set of Mythology is big; it's dramatic and imposing. The new and the old combine. Modern catalyst images are
projected onto ancient standing stones, a giant Celtic cross takes center stage and the tempo of the music is strongly
echoed in the theatrical and moody lighting. Mythology is by far Celtic Thunder's most impressive production to date,
bar none.
The road to Mythology began in 2007 when Sharon Browne, the Celtic Thunder's creator and producer, set out to
produce a show with real Celts performing an eclectic mix of songs ranging from the traditional to international hits and
some original pieces along the way. That show and each subsequent Celtic Thunder show have raised the bar for Irish
music and theatrical productions worldwide. Mythology has raised that bar yet again, even by Celtic Thunder standards.
It is without down their most extravagant and spectacular show ever and by far the biggest undertaking of producer
Sharon Browne's and Musical Director David Munro's careers to date.
Mythology comprises of six diverse performers who are each a powerhouse in both their solo and ensemble songs,
backed of course by the dynamic Celtic Thunder Band. And while Celtic Thunder shows are known for the use of
dramatic combinations of lighting, choreography and set design, Peter Barnes, the Set & Lighting Director for Mythology
has upped the ante and has created a stage that surpasses anything Celtic Thunder has done heretofore.
