Riverdance announces its 30th Anniversary celebrations.
Since Riverdance first emerged onto the world stage, its fusion of Irish and international dance and music has captured the hearts of millions worldwide. The Grammy award-winning music and the infectious energy of its mesmerising choreography and breathtaking performances has left audiences in awe and established Riverdance as a global cultural sensation.
To celebrate this incredible 30th year milestone, Riverdance will embark on a special anniversary tour, bringing its magic to audiences around the world. This spectacular production rejuvenates the much-loved original show with new innovative choreography, costumes and state of the art lighting, projection and motion graphics. And for the first time Riverdance welcomes "The New Generation" of performers, all of whom were not born when show began 30 years ago.
John McColgan, Director of Riverdance said "It is both a privilege and a delight to celebrate 30 years of Riverdance and the unique journey it has taken us on. In those 30 years the show has transformed from a spectacle into a global cultural phenomenon - continuously evolving yet remaining true to its Irish roots. On this upcoming tour we look forward to welcoming 'The New Generation' of artists while paying tribute to the talented performers, creators, dedicated crew, and the millions of fans who have made Riverdance a worldwide celebration of music and dance."
Audiences will enjoy a unique and memorable performance which blends the traditional and the contemporary, showcasing the skill and passion of the world-class of dancers, musicians and singers in the Riverdance ensemble.
Composed by Bill Whelan. Produced by Moya Doherty. Directed by John McColgan.
Wow! What a show, from the dancers to the singers to the musicians. Just spectacular.
The dancers and musicians were so talented , and the background scenery was so stunning and realistic. The only thing I would say is that the show could have been a bit shorter as after a while the dancing became a bit repetitive.
Excellent performance. Merchandise and food pricing was absolutely ridiculous.
Very impressive performance by dancers, musicians & vocalists
Riverdance was a fantastic show. Excellent talent, choreography and music. I have never seen them before, this group is definitely worth seeing. I would go again, give the opportunity.
The dancers, singers and musicians are all so talented, I was completely drawn in! Loved the variety of ballet, tap and almost hip hop and the choreography is excellent! The changing set background was beautiful. Would highly recommend!!!
Doors were to open at 12 but did not till 12:30, my disabled husband was standing for 30 min while VI Ps were doing whatever. The show was awesome 😎
We had the VIP experience. It was worth every penny.
Loved the precisionist and violinist the most, all was great.
This was such an amazing show full of energy, song and of course dance! Riverdance is a show for everyone who loves to be entertained!! We will be back, when they return to Winnipeg!
