Abhann Productions, the production company of Riverdance, one of the most successful music and dance productions the world has ever seen. Riverdance began as a seven-minute interval act at the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin, watched by an audience of almost 300 million people. The performance became a global sensation and led to the creation of the full-length stage show just nine months later. Following its world première in Dublin in early 1995, Riverdance went on to break box office records and tour extensively throughout North America, Oceania, Asia, Europe, South Africa and South America. Since beginning performances in 1995, Riverdance has played over 15,000 performances in 598 major cities across 49 countries and every continent except Antarctica. The show has been seen live by over 30 million people and broadcast to a global television audience of more than 3.5 billion. Over 3 million copies of the Grammy Award-winning album have been sold, alongside more than 10 million DVDs. Over three decades, Riverdance has evolved into a global cultural phenomenon, bringing together the traditions of Irish dance and music with influences from around the world. The production showcases world-class dancers, musicians and singers, combining traditional and contemporary performance. Riverdance 30 – The New Generation marks the next chapter in the show's story, rejuvenating the production with new choreography and costumes, alongside state-of-the-art lighting, projection and motion graphics, and introducing a new generation of performers. Riverdance was created by Producer Moya Doherty, Composer Bill Whelan and Director John McColgan.
