Operating profits at the company behind Riverdance increased by 5.5% to €2.13m last year.
Thirty years on from Riverdance making its debut as the interval act during the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin, new accounts show Riverdance 's continued appeal across the world.
Last month, Riverdance performed a string of dates around Australia while, next month, Riverdance returns to Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre for a run until September. The strong profits of 2023 and 2022 follow Covid-19 related losses of €1.097m in 2021 and €747,465 in 2020, as a result of the pandemic shutting down the show from March 2020 to September 2021.
David Orr is also listed as a director and aggregate pay to directors increased by 34%, from €1.35m to €1.8m.
