Riverdance
Of all the performances to emerge from Ireland -
in rock, music, theatre, film - nothing has carried
the energy , the sensuality and the spectacle of
Riverdance.
20 years ago in May 1994 Riverdance was first
performed as the interval act in the eurovision
Song Contest in Dublin before being developed
into a full length stage show.
with its fusion of Irish and international music
and dance, the show broke all box office records
during its world premiere run in Dublin in early
1995 and has since become a global phenomenon,
being performed over 12,000 times to a live
audience in excess of 23 million and with three
companies on tour at any one time.
To mark the Anniversary of this incredible
production, Riverdance comes to Limerick before
embarking on its 20th Anniversary tour. it will be
Limerick City of Culture’s inaugural flagship event
and the homecoming for Limerick born composer,
Bill whelan. The production will take place from
the 16th-19th January 2014 at the Sport Arena in
the University of Limerick and tickets can be
obtained from the Unive
