Live – Dorian Electra at The Academy Dublin

Dorian Electra at The Academy Dublin, 30th January 2024

Dorian Electra’s EU/UK Fanfare tour started in Warsaw on the 18th of January and came to a climax in Dublin at The Academy on the 30th. The last time Dorian played Dublin they played the smaller Greenroom in The Academy to a packed out room, this time around they were in the big main venue and it was no different. Coming on stage at 9pm, they exploded on to the set which was decked out in a circus theatre style, and Dorian for the first song stood in the middle of a large lit up ring. Throughout the night, to the delight of their fans, they played hit after hit and the whole show was like a Cabaret, as there were costume changes and a number of different dancers acting out a storyline to certain songs. At one point even Dorian themself was beheaded, and the song after this was played while the only person on the stage was a clown performing an opera-like scene to the song Vesti la Giubba by the Italian composer Ruggero Leoncavallo, with just the head in hand.

Overall the night not only proved Dorian’s singing talents but also their stage performance, and I suspect their stage production talents also. By the end of the show (as that’s what it was more so than a gig!) everyone in the crowd was left totally satisfied and could not have asked for more from Dorian, who could not have put on a better night’s performance.
