Riverdance
''Riverdance'' is a theatrical show consisting mainly of traditional Irish music and dance. Featuring Irish dancing champions Jean Butler and Michael Flatley, and with a score composed by Limerick native Bill Whelan, it originated as an interval performance act during the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest. Shortly afterwards, husband and wife production team John McColgan and Moya Doherty expanded it into a stage show, which opened in Dublin on 9 February 1995. Since then, the show has visited over 450 venues worldwide and been seen by over 25 million people, making it one of the most successful dance productions in the world.
==Background==
''Riverdance'' is rooted in a three-part suite of baroque-influenced traditional music called ''Timedance'' composed, recorded and performed for the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest, which was hosted by Ireland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ceolas Profile: Planxty )〕 At the time, Bill Whelan and Dónal Lunny composed the music, augmenting the Irish folk band Planxty with a rock rhythm section of electric bass and drums and a four-piece horn section. The piece was performed, with accompanying ballet dancers, during the interval of the contest, and later released as a Planxty single. Whelan had previously produced ''EastWind'', an album by Planxty member Andy Irvine with Davy Spillane whose cross between Irish and Southeastern European folk music proved an influence on ''Riverdance''. Thirteen years later, Bill Whelan was invited to do the intermission piece for another Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin, and composed ''Riverdance''.〔 In a book about Planxty (''The Humours of Planxty'', by Leagues O'Toole), Whelan says, "It was no mistake of mine to call it ''Riverdance'' because it connected absolutely to ''Timedance''".
