This 20th An-niversary Tour is a thank you to our audiences and a celebration of what has been an incredible journey across two decades.”

Riverdance - The 20th Anniversary World Tour is an innovative and exciting blend of dance, music and song. Drawing on Irish traditions, the combined talents of the performers propel Irish dancing and music into the present day, capturing the imagination of audiences across all ages and cultures. Each Riverdance touring company consists of up to 55 cast and crew members, with the remarkable Riverdance Irish Dance Troupe featur-ing world class dancers from Ireland, U.K, America, Australia and Canada, the cream of Irish musicians in the Riverdance Band and a spectacular array of international stars from Spain, America and Russia, all performing to the magic of Bill Whelan’s Grammy award winning music.

With its fusion of Irish and International music and dance, the show broke all box office records during its world première run in Dublin in early 1995 and has continued to set new records in packed theatres and arenas throughout North America, Austra-lia and New Zealand, Asia, Europe, South Africa and most recently South America.

What doesRiverdancemean?

The theme of the 1994 Eurovision was ‘The River’, as produced by Moya Doherty. Bill Whelan took this theme as a starting point when composing music for that seminal interval act. Riverdance traces the life of a river. The invocation sung at the start is called Cloudsong: it is the rain falling, feeding the river, which springs to life and flows through the land and out to sea. There, the cloud reforms and returns to the land, nourishing, renewing and refreshing it. The constant refrain ‘uisce beatha’ translates as ‘water of life’. The number builds from the gentle song to the dancers’ feet rhythmically recalling a river gathering force and rushing to the sea. The choreography reflects this cycle. The riverwoman dances alone, her soft-shoe dance evoking the flow of the river. As she crosses the land, the earth, represented by the male dancer, awakens and bursts forth onto the stage. As the strength of the river builds, so dancers gather, signifying new life and energy, until the full Riverdance line swells to fill the stage as the river meets the sea. Then earth and river dance in harmony, as the water of life renews the land. The river, from cloud to sea to cloud again, symbolises the life cycle, and echoes the Irish experience of emigration and renewal: people who had left their homeland and travelled across the sea, returned in the 1990s to enrich Ireland with their talents and experience gained abroad. The show as a whole builds on this idea, also exploring the way people from different lands enrich the countries they emigrate to, bringing with them their own culture, music and dance.

Since Riverdance began performances in Dublin 1995, the show has…- Played 11,000 performances- Been seen live by over 25 million people in over 467 venues world wide, throughout 46 countries across 6 continents- Travelled 700,000 miles (or to the moon and back and back again!) - Played to a global television audience of 3 billion people- Sold over 3 million copies of the Grammy Award-winning CD- Sold 10 million Riverdance videos & DVDs- Riverdance holds the Guinness World Record for the ‘Longest River-dance Line’. 1693 participants took part from all over the world.

Together with the performances, they created a fabulous night’s entertainment.’

‘ … it was absolutely fantastic.’

‘An amazing variety of stirring rhythms was produced by the flying feet of the dancers. Something similar came from the band, notably in Bill Whelan’s flamen-co piece with shimmering South American percussion. The Russian group was amazing, the American tap dancers sparkling and funny, the whole performance EXHILARATING.’

‘Riverdance was an exhilarating experience, with stunning dance sequences which left the audience dazzled and mesmerised. There were unforgettable moments – the acrobatics of the Russian troupe… and the trio of American tap dancers.’
