Riverdance 25th Anniversary Show ~ Sunday, August 30, 7:00 pm ~ Fall in love with the magic all over again with this powerful reinvention of the groundbreaking show! ILMED ON THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY of its first full Fperformance at the 3Arena in Dublin – the spot where it all began – the Riverdance 25th Anniversary Show is an exciting and stirring reinvention of this beloved family favorite. Cata- pulting the stunning production into the 21st century, this new cinematic experience immerses viewers in the extraordinary and elemental power of music and dance. Celebrated the world over for its Grammy Award-winning score, Riverdance brings thrilling energy and passion to Irish and international dance. Twenty-five years ago, seven minutes changed the face of Irish dancing forever. The Eurovision Song Contest interval act performance by Riverdance gave millions of people a new and exciting glimpse of the future of Irish dance. Now composer Bill Whelan has re-recorded his mesmerizing soundtrack while producer Moya Doherty and director John McColgan have re-imagined the groundbreaking show with innovative and spectacular lighting, projection, stage and costume designs. New and evocative video backdrops call forth the beauty and mystery of the island and enhance the show’s central theme, chronicling the emotional upheaval of the migration to a new Irish life in America. An incredible new generation of dancers and musicians, including a fantastic 17-year-old fiddler from New Jersey, brings fresh energy to the production. I Lucy Worsley’s Royal Photo Album ~ August 16, 8:00 pm, August 22, 10:00 pm & August 23, 2:00 pm ~ ROM QUEEN VICTORIA TO PRINCESS DIANA to Prince Harry, the royal Ffamily has shaped their image with photography. The camera has been the Crown’s confidante, messenger – and nemesis, from official portraits to tabloid snapshots. Lucy Worsley takes viewers through the story of the royal photograph, showing how the royal family collaborated with generations of photographers to create images that reinvented the British monarchy. Going back to the mid-19th century, Lucy looks at the earliest photographs of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, taken at a time when monarchies across Europe were under threat. Photography rescued them, showing the British royals as a family rather than aloof rulers. This insider’s approach has been continued by royals since then. Princess Diana used her image to focus attention on her message, and younger royals like Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, have sought to exert much tighter control over how their images are taken and used.
