T77341796Experience the thrill of intimate opera as The Minotaur Music Theatre makes a welcome return to The Rosemary Branch. You may think that grand opera above a pub is a bit of a novelty but we should like to point out that we have been doing it for over ten years and take much pride in the high quality of the productions. Minotaur Music Theatre's previous triumphs at The Rosie include La Cenerentola 2004, The Bear, The Wandering Scholar, La Boheme 2005, Don Giovanni 2006, Cosi Fan Tutte and The Barber of Seville 2007. An ambitious soprano, a luggage mixup, the destructive power of the sea and an unpaid debt - four contrasting one act operas in two exciting programmes. The casts of young professional singers at the start of their careers include Rosemary Branch favourites John Savournin and Rosie Bell, as well as many outstanding newcomers.Company Minotaur Music Theatre.

and Sibelius's Luonnotar - T1427542155Running time 1hr 10mins. The evening begins with Sibelius’s 1913 ‘tone poem’ Luonnotar (Nature Spirit) sung by Susan Gritton, part of a fifteen minute prologue for Riders to the Sea which also incorporates incidental music by composer John Woolrich, archive recording of Aran Islander’s songs and film by artist Dorothy Cross. The prologue counters the bleakness of Synge’s story with Sibelius’s poem, the text of which is derived from an ancient Finnish epic, the Kavevala, and tells of the mythical creation of the earth and sky. The two polarities of creation and destruction are embodied by the figure of the Goddess in Luonnotar and the devastating power of the sea on Maurya and her family in Riders to the Sea. By combining both pieces in a single 60 minute arc, the evening will span the life cycle. Riders to the Sea is presented in asociation with the Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust and is supported by the English Opera Group and Culture Ireland.Corporate Sponsor skyARTS.
