Dubliners

About

Life’s ups, downs, ins and outs unfold in front of a city of onlookers. James Joyce’s Dubliners perfectly capture the emotions, characters and flavours of Dublin from 100 years ago. Two new operas by Andrew Synnott (composer) and Arthur Riordan (librettist), each based on one story from Dubliners, are both contemporary and entertaining, and bring Joyce’s characters vividly to life. In a new production from Opera Theatre Company and Wexford Festival Opera, Dubliners marks the operatic début of the acclaimed theatre director Annabelle Comyn, whose productions have been seen at the Abbey Theatre, Druid, Landmark Productions and the Dublin Theatre Festival. She is joined by Set Designer Paul O’Mahony (OTC’s Acis and Galatea), costume designer Joan O’Clery and Lighting Designer Rory Beaton.
