Adult film legend Kylie Ireland (www.kylieireland.com) is set to make her second ever appearance as a burlesque performer in 'The Lost Grind Opera' at Hollywood's El Cid Theater on Friday, March 13th. Described as a 'Dark Cabaret,' the gothic/comedy/burlesque show features Ireland in honor of the cabaret's St. Patrick's Day premiere performance.

'I love doing these burlesque shows, but I rarely have the time,' says Ireland. 'However, since it's Dark Grind Opera's first show, and so near St. Patrick's Day, I couldn't say no.'

Don't expect to see the redheaded siren doing a Leprechaun number, however. 'I'm doing an entire voodoo priestess set. It's very creepy and cool,' she explains.

Located at the world famous El Cid Theater, The Lost Grind Opera is a bi-monthly theatrical showcase that brings you the very best in dark cabaret. With its unique blend of glamorous modern burlesque, original live music and deviantly hilarious vaudeville, The Lost Grind Opera looks to set the new standard in L.A.'s underground scene.

Hosted by the popular duo of Heckles & Twitch (www.hecklesandtwitch.com, www.myspace.com/hecklesandtwitch), opening night at The Lost Grind Opera features an hour-long VIP pre-show with a surprise musical guest followed by two full hours of decadent entertainment including music by house band The Grinder Monkey Quartet and a bevy of burlesque beauties headlined by Shelby 'Belfast' Jones and Victoria Vengeance.

Other acts for the evening include drag impresario Diamondback Annie, newcomers Teddy LeTame and Sophia Sirena as well as go-go dancing by CeCe LaRue and Amber Marie.

The evening wraps up with a post-show autograph and gallery session with night's performers and music by a guest DJ.

Dress code is highly encouraged of all guests, with 1920s-1950s, Cirque, Edwardian, Steampunk, Retro and Glamorous attire a welcome addition to our show.
