Tourism Ireland treats industry pros to iconic Riverdance 30

St. Patrick’s Day celebrations have turned into a weeklong festival, thanks to Tourism Ireland.

Last night, the tourism board hosted a group of travel industry colleagues to an evening at the historic Mirvish Theatre in Toronto to see Riverdance 30, the next generation. TravelPress Today was on hand to experience this world class dance troupe step it up like no other.

Riverdance 30, which runs March 18-March 23, is a fusion of Irish and international dance music that’s garnered international attention. The Toronto performance is part of a special anniversary tour. This spectacular production rejuvenates the much-loved original show with new innovative choreography and costumes and state of the art lighting, projection and motion graphics.

“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,” said John McColgan, Director of Riverdance. “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.”
