‘AS BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL AS EVER’ Daily Telegraph

Macbeth

TUE 15 — SAT 19 jan 2019

The National Theatre, producers of War Horse and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, bring this epic and visually daring production of Shakespeare’s most intense tragedy on a tour of the UK and Ireland immediately following a sold-out run in London.

Directed by National Theatre Artistic Director Rufus Norris (Cabaret, London Road) and designed by Rae Smith (War Horse, This House) this new production propels Shakespeare’s classic title into a post-apocalyptic world of anarchy and uncertainty.

A performance with ISL (Irish Sign Language) will take place on Wednesday 16 January at 7.30pm.

MATTHEW BOURNE’S SWAN LAKE returns with a fresh look for the 21st century.

Sleep no more…

The ruined aftermath of a bloody civil war. Ruthlessly fighting to survive, the Macbeths are thrust towards the crown by forces of elemental darkness.

MATTHEW BOURNE’S SWAN LAKE

2.30PM & 7.30PM* Doors 1hr before PERFORMANCE From €16 * See website for full details

Retaining the iconic elements of the original production loved by millions around the world, Matthew Bourne and award-winning designers Lez Brotherston (Set & Costumes) and Paule Constable (Lighting) will create an exciting re-imagining of the classic production.

Thrilling, audacious, witty and emotive, this Swan Lake is perhaps still best known for replacing the female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble, which shattered convention, turned tradition upside down and took the dance world by storm.

Collecting over 30 international accolades including an Olivier Award and three Tony® Awards on Broadway, Matthew Bourne’s powerful interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece is a passionate and contemporary Swan Lake for our times.

Love without limits...

Irish soprano Celine Byrne joins a host of international and Irish singers to star as Madama Butterfly in Puccini’s most heart-wrenching opera. Ben Barnes directs. Timothy Redmond conducts the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.

MADAMA BUTTERFLY takes us on the emotional journey of a devoted young Asian woman as she faces the truth about Pinkerton, the US navy lieutenant she marries. Sound advice from her maid, Suzuki, and the American consul, Sharpless, falls on deaf ears. The worldly-wise Pinkerton sets up house with Butterfly, but he deserts her, leaving her isolated from family and friends.

Puccini’s orientally-tinged and compassionate score includes the famous Humming Chorus and the rose-tinted expectation of the aria Un bel dì. Butterfly holds on to hope as she longs for the “one fine day” on which her departed lover will return. He does, but not for the kind of reunion she dreamed about.

WED 10 — Sat 27 apr 2019

Following eight record-breaking years in London’s West End and having played in 11 countries around the world to over seven million people, The National Theatre’s acclaimed play WAR HORSE returns to Bord Gáis Energy Theatre following a sell-out run in 2014.

2.30pm & 7.30PM*

At the outbreak of World War One, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man’s land. Albert, who remained on his parents’ Devon farm, cannot forget Joey. Though still not old enough to enlist he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home.

Based on the beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo, this powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-sized horses by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.
