Morrígan by John O’Brien

From Éadaoin O’Donoghue and John O’Brien comes the new opera Morrígan – produced by Cork Opera House in association with The Everyman Theatre. Morrígan is the Irish Goddess of death and fate. Her story is visceral and primal – one of a beautiful, natural love thwarted by society; of Deirdre and the Sons of Usna; and of a king corrupted by lust and revenge who drags his kingdom to its doom. Sweeping from the epic to the intimate, Morrígan brings us soaring arias, tender duets, and large action-packed ensembles with highly charged battle scenes. Conor Palliser conducts the Cork Opera House Orchestra and Chorus with a cast starring Kim Sheehan, Majella Cullagh and Jung Soo Yun.
