From Librettist Éadaoin O’Donoghue and Composer John O’Brien comes the new opera Morrígan - produced by Cork Opera House in association with The Everyman Theatre.

Morrígan is the Irish Goddess of death and fate. Her story is visceral and primal – one of a beautiful, natural love thwarted by society; of Deirdre and the Sons of Usna; and of a king corrupted by lust and revenge who drags his kingdom to its doom. Sweeping from the epic to the intimate, Morrígan brings us soaring arias, tender duets, and large action-packed ensembles with highly charged battle scenes. Conor Palliser conducts the Cork Opera House Orchestra and Chorus with a cast starring Kim Sheehan, Majella McCullagh and Jung Soo Yun.

Listen

Morrígan will be broadcast on Saturday 26 November for RTE Lyric fm's Opera Night with Paul Herriott, listen in online here.
