'Riverdance' is a theatrical show that consists mainly of traditional Irish music and dance. With a score composed by Bill Whelan, it originated as an interval act during the Eurovision Song Contest 1994, featuring Irish dancing champions Jean Butler, Michael Flatley and the vocal ensemble Anúna. 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. As of 2023, Riverdance has played more than 15,000 performances across 49 countries and six continents and has been seen live by more than 30 million people. 'Oscail An Doras' (translating as 'Open the door') has been arranged to mark the 30th anniversary of the phenomenal first performance.
