Allow yourself to be swept away by the haunting beauty of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ tragic opera based on the J. M. Synge play, reimagined for Aotearoa New Zealand, and incorporating the music of Dame Gillian Whitehead, David Hamilton, and John Ireland.
Toi Toi Opera is delighted to welcome back Sara Brodie (Director) and Mark Hodgkinson (Conductor) to the company to spearhead this extraordinarily special season, featuring a stellar all-local cast, musical, and creative team.
Margot Button stars as Maurya, with Erin Connelly-Whyte as Cathleen, Matilda Wickbom as Nora, and Alex Robinson as Bartley.
A semi-staged production, with chamber ensemble accompaniment.
Cash bar available.
