Lecture: ‘New and old, Gaelic and modern’: Irish opera and the Gaelic Revival
Don't miss this interesting talk by Dr Maria McHale. It's not just for opera fans or those interested in Irish (Gaeilge) - it's an entertaining journey back in time to 21st May 1910 when the Irish-language opera, Eithne, was performed to great acclaim. Dr McHale will also unravel a music mystery - it was billed as the first opera in the Irish language - but was it?!
Dr McHale's talk will let you experience the excitement of that particular night - the last of a week-long run of the opera at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin in 1910 – never again performed until 2017 at the National Concert Hall, Dublin. You will hear part of that recent recording of the concert performance.
