Doireann Ní Bhriain presents Robert O'Dwyer's Eithne live from the National Concert Hall, Dublin, a romantic adaptation of a mysterious ancient Irish legend, as the mortal son of Ireland's High King falls in love with the magical Eithne, daughter of the King of Tír na nÓg. 'This opera was completely forgotten until the score came out at an auction in 2002, where it was purchased by the National Library of Ireland,' says Irish Language Group Leader, Rónan Mac Con Iomaire. 'Little did you think at the time that such a large - scale opera, entirely through Irish, would be staged again and again, but it's great now that the public will have the opportunity to see the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra in action. shown in the autumn. " Eithne's music is steeped in European operatic traditions as of the late nineteenth century, with the influences of Dvorák and Wagner reflected in the music. The opera tells the story of the princess of Tír na nÓg, and her journey around the world in search of a hero who would bring back her enchanted mother. A rare example of an opera with the libretto in the Irish language. Eithne stars internationally acclaimed soprano artists Orla Boylan (pictured) as Eithne, baritone Gavan Ring as the High King of Ireland and tenor Robin Tritschler as Ceart, Eithne's lover. The chorus of Opera Theater Company and the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra are conducted by Fergus Sheil.
