We have listed below the Dublin Show Breaks that are available. Treat yourself to a weekend away or a midweek break and stay in Dublin and visit one of these great Shows.   Riverdance Gaiety Theatre Dublin 23rd Jun - 30th Aug '09 Riverdance was first performed during the interval of the Eurovision Song Contest on April 30, 1994. It received a standing ovation. At Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest it was voted the most popular interval act in the history of the contest. This first performance featured Irish Dancing Champion Jean Butler, Michael Flatley, the RTE Concert Orchestra and the Celtic choral group Anúna with a score written by Bill Whelan. Whelan also composed "Timedance" — an early version of "Riverdance" — for the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest, performed by Planxty. Flatley choreographed for himself and Jean Butler choreographed her solo and the troupe. A video of the Eurovision interval performance was released by the Irish broadcaster Radio Telefís Éireann under the title "Riverdance for Rwanda" with all proceeds going to the Rwanda Appeal Disasters Joint Appeal Committee[1]. Many of the dance troupe featured in this performance subsequently went on to dance principal roles in later productions of "Riverdance the Show". Riverdance is produced and directed by husband and wife team John McColgan and Moya Doherty, controlled through their production company Abhann Productions, based in Dublin.
