Filmed in 14 different locations around the island, Celtic Woman: Postcards from Ireland brings an innovative, fresh, and vibrant approach to their performances, taking viewers on a musical journey through some of the most stunning land and seascapes across Ireland.
Using the forests, lakes and beaches as their stage and the mountains and valleys as their backdrop, the soft light from dramatic skyscapes becomes their only source of illumination. Blending their performances into these sometimes wild, natural places, their costumes in lush palettes become the perfect visual match for these postcard settings.
The journey begins in Ireland’s Ancient East with a return visit to Johnstown Castle in County Wexford, where the group delivers a spine-tingling performance of the ever-popular “Amazing Grace.” And so, the musical and visual journey begins as we follow Celtic Woman with their musicians and dancers to many popular locations. The postcards appear throughout the program as signposts to keep the viewer informed of the location, and performers share associations they have with the location or the song they are about to perform.
