Riverdance returns to Castlebar, Co Mayo in September!

From 29th September for 6 shows, Riverdance plays The Royal Theatre for only the second time in his 15 years. Since the Royal Theatre underwent its renovations in 2008 it is now able to host such large events.

Riverdance Music resonates from Mayo, where an initiative from Mayo County Council to celebrate the opening of the visitors' centre at the Ceide Fields archaeological site in 1993, the Mayo 5000 concert took place in the National Concert Hall, Dublin. Mayo 5000 was produced by Moya Doherty and John McColgan and included a new musical work by composer Bill Whelan called ‘The Spirit of Mayo’.

The show included choral pieces by the choir Anuna and starred Irish dancers Jean Butler, Colin Dunne and Michael Flatley. This team was reunited a few short months later and the rest, as they say, is history.

“This is why its so fitting that Riverdance is performed in Castlebar in the Capital town of Mayo” Sandra Hunt Royal Theatre
