Of all the performances to emerge from Ireland - in rock, music, theatre and film - nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance.
With music and lyrics by Bill Whelan, produced by Moya Doherty and directed
by John McColgan, Riverdance is the development of an original idea by Moya Doherty, which was initially performed at the Eurovision Song Contest held in Dublin in April 1994 as a seven-minute interval act.
Currently, there is one Riverdance production touring in North America (the
Boyne) with a second production touring the UK and Europe (the Corrib) and a third production touring Ireland every summer (the Foyle).
Each of the companies consists of up to 80 cast and crew members, with the remarkable Riverdance Irish Dance Troupe, the cream of Irish musicians in the Riverdance Band and a spectacular array of talent from Spain, Russia and America, performing to the magic of Bill Whelan’s music.
