Tosca

Tosca

This event has ended

Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, Monday 11th July - Sunday 17th July

Elemental passions. Repressive politics. Unbridled lust. Puccini’s Tosca is an operatic thriller that boasts some of the composer’s greatest scenes and most touching arias.

Tosca, a highly-strung, big-hearted singer, is possessive about her lover. He, the painter Cavaradossi, is under political suspicion and is tortured by Scarpia the corrupt chief of police. Scarpia wants to bed Tosca, and deceives her so cleverly that his double-cross still works, even after she has killed him.

INO’s production features a stellar cast. Dramatic Irish soprano Sinéad Campbell Wallace sings the title role, fresh from her great success in Beethoven’s Fidelio last year. Exciting American tenor Dimitri Pittas is Cavaradossi. Powerful Icelandic bass-baritone Tómas Tómasson sings Scarpia. Tosca is conducted by Nil Venditti and directed by Michael Gieleta, with set and costume design by Gary McCann.

This father’s journey is both beautiful and strange, from the isolation of his Midlands home, to the madness of O’Connell Street. Some folk are impossible to buy for… Presented By: Fishamble The New Play

The Pillowman

Gate Theatre

A totalitarian regime. A missing child. A killer on the loose. A writer is arrested when a series of murders, bearing a chilling resemblance to his own stories, come to light. As two detectives chase a confession, they discover a truth much stranger than fiction. From Martin McDonagh, the award-winning writer of The Beauty Queen of Leenane, The Banshees of Inisherin and In Bruges comes a savage tale about the stories we tell to keep the monsters at bay. Directed by Olivier Award winner Lyndsey Turner, THE PILLOWMAN will open at the Gate Theatre on 9th July, with previews from 4th July.
