Dubliners directed by Annabelle Comyn

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 operas by Andrew Synnott (composer) and Arthur Riordan (librettist), each based on one story from Dubliners, were both contemporary and entertaining, and brought Joyce’s characters vividly to life.

In a production from Opera Theatre Company and Wexford Festival Opera, Dubliners marked 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 was joined by Set Designer Paul O’Mahony(OTC’s Acis and Galatea), costume designer Joan O’Clery and Lighting Designer Rory Beaton to bring this wonderful opera to life.
