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.  Now, 20 years after Riverdance was first performed as the interval act in the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin and having been seen live by over 23 million people worldwide, the Show will be returning to the Odyssey Arena Belfast in January 2014 as part of the 20th Anniversary Tour.

After its Eurovision debut in 1994, Riverdance was developed into a full length stage show with a 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.  When the show transferred to London in June of that year, the reaction was unprecedented, with the original 10 performances being increased to 151 in subsequent months.  This was followed by a hugely successful tour to New York, Belfast and Cork.  Since then, it has packed theatres throughout North America, Oceania, Asia, Europe, South Africa and most recently South America.

With music and lyrics by Bill Whelan, Riverdance is produced by Moya Doherty and directed by John McColgan.
