Premiere of new Donnacha Dennehy opera The Second Violinist

26 July 2017 19:00 - 30 July 2017 20:30

Black Box Theatre

Landmark Productions and Wide Open Opera present the world premiere of The Second Violinist.
Following the sensational success of their first opera, The Last Hotel, Donnacha Dennehy and Enda Walsh join forces once again on an explosive new production.
 
One of Ireland’s leading actors, Aaron Monaghan, plays The Second Violinist.
 
He is joined by singers Máire Flavin, Sharon Carty and Benedict Nelson, together with the Chorus of Wide Open Opera, and Crash Ensemble, the group founded by Dennehy and described by the New York Times as ‘the Irish new–music band that plays with the energy and spirit of a rock group’.
 
Joined by the phenomenal creative team from The Last Hotel, Donnacha Dennehy’s music is infused with lingering echoes of the Renaissance works of Carlo Gesualdo, creating a sonorous backdrop for the haunting orchestrations and pulsating rhythms that drive the opera to its inexorable conclusion.
