From the creators of A Taste of Ireland comes a bold new evolution — Éireann by A Taste of Ireland, a reimagined performance that blends tradition with innovation.
Where music meets movement, Ireland’s story unfolds: sweeping audiences through the triumphs, tragedies, and courage of a nation. From the arrival of the Vikings to the rise of Brian Boru, from the sorrow of the Great Famine and through the darkness of the Easter Rising, Éireann brings Ireland’s history to life in a way that’s deeply human, utterly captivating, and impossible to forget.
Performed by a cast of world-class dancers – alumni of Riverdance and Lord of the Dance – the show highlights the athleticism and precision of Irish dance, elevated by contemporary choreography paired with the visceral beauty of live rhythm. Accompanied by a powerhouse musical trio, the show’s vocals poetically navigate the audience through a journey where the dancing and music intertwine its modern score, rooted in tradition.
The signature humour and heart remain, grounding the performance in the lyrical culture Ireland is celebrated for. Reinspired with cutting-edge lighting and stagecraft, and enhanced by cinematic, immersive visual design, the production creates a world that feels emotionally alive and theatrically bold.
Directed and produced by Brent Pace (This is Not a Happy Room – Off West End, A Taste of Ireland – Off Broadway), co-directed and produced by Ceili Moore (World Champion, Riverdance and Lord of the Dance artist), and with musical direction by Charlie Galloway (Talisk), Éireann unites a powerhouse creative team driving this bold reimagining of Irish theatrical performance.
With 100% live dancing and vocals, Éireann by A Taste of Ireland — balances the box-office energy of its predecessor with a striking new artistic vision: one that resonates with today’s audiences while honouring the cultural heartbeat of a nation.
After performing to hundreds of thousands worldwide witness the next chapter of A Taste of Ireland, in this strictly limited UK premiere.
