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.
From the opening song to the finale it was a breathtaking show.
Show was amazing. Dancers and musicians where very talented. Set was well done. Just as lovely as it was the three or five other times I've seen the show. Keep bringing more shows to the NAC
This was my first time seeing this. I bawled like a baby from the minute the show started. I thought of my Nana (of Irish decent) and how she would have loved every minute of it. The person I was with said they had goosebumps from beginning to end. I can’t stress enough how much everyone needs to see this show!
We saw Lord of the Dance Yrs ago and loved it. We were told that Riverdance was just like Lord of the Dance, but not even close. We left at intermission. It was more like going to the ballet with opera. The seats were terrible, with people in and out, and us having to get up, and down, every few minutes. Sorry I wouldn’t recommend goi g to this show.
Really enjoyed every moment of the spectacular performances of Riverdance 25 th celebration ! The dancers, the musiciens, the singers and the special effects were truly captivating! My daughter really enjoyed the dancers and there footwork, especially the males dancers ! We enjoyed and loved everything from the beginning right to the finally ! Bravo to all ! A beautiful afternoon with such great talented people!
Goosebumps for 2 hours. The talent goes way beyond my expectations. Fell in love with the musicians, dancers above and beyond. Highly recommend this show. Bucket list worthy.
Very impressed! Vegas quality production. Liked the variety of dancing, singing and musical pieces. Saw the show 20 years ago - much improved! Bravo.
The show was amazing! I hope they come back to Ottawa so we can go again! The music, the dancing, the singing, the costumes, the backdrop scenery. EVERYTHING was fantastic! It was a gift from the family to my mom for Mother's day...and she absolutely loved it. Totally recommend and would definitely go again!
OMG, they are amazing, it was my first time seeing them and it’s been a very nice evening.
I love Irish dancing and this show was beyond excellent. I love the whole idea .
I have seen this show numerous times. It never disappoints.
This was my first time experiencing Riverdance and it was amazing. All of the performances were captivating with the level of athleticism, talent and synchronicity. The lead male was a delight to watch - his was incredibly talented and I love the way he engaged with the audience. His joy on stage was infectious - his brilliant smile drew the audience into the performance. Absolutely LOVED it!!!
I have been wanting to watch Riverdance for 20 years, it was in my bucket list. It didn’t disappoint. It was absolutely incredible. The dancers were amazing and the music was equally magnificent. It was well worth the money!!!
With the exception of the Spanish dances (2) which didn’t fit in The rest was fantastic
Belle soirée avec Riverdance. La variété des styles de danse, le haut calibre des danseurs et les musiciens sur scène rendent le spectacle exceptionnel
What an amazing show, will definitely try to see it again!!
We thoroughly enjoyed every part of Riverdance! The storytelling was really enjoyable and engaging. The music was beyond incredible by the supremely talented musicians. The vibrant set screens were beautiful and of course the dancing was jaw dropping! A truly astonishing performance! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Me and my daughters absolutely enjoyed the 25th anniversary show which provided a good mix of dance, signing and music. The crew was really talented and were able to draw in the crowd. Fully recommend!
It was absolutely amazing !!! The music was really nice!!
The show was everything I thought it would be. The scenery, music, dancing the whole show was wonderful. I would love to see them come to Ottawa again. One thing I didn't care for was that we had to wear a mask. I found it was too warm and hard to breath with the mask on.
