A TALK BY DR MARIA MCHALE
At the Princess Grace Irish Library
Tickets €10 (includes a drink)

Lecture: ‘New and old, Gaelic and modern’: Irish opera and the Gaelic Revival
Join us for a music mystery talk at the library!
Don't miss this interesting talk by Dr Maria McHale. It's not just for opera fans or those interested in the Irish language - it's an entertaining journey back in time to 21st May 1910 when the Irish-language opera, Eithne, was performed to great acclaim. Dr McHale will also unravel a music mystery - as it was billed as the first opera in the Irish language - but was it?!
Dr McHale's talk will let you experience the excitement of that particular night - the last of a week-long run of the opera at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin in May 1910 – never again performed until 2017 at the National Concert Hall, Dublin. You will hear part of that recent recording of the concert performance. On display at the library is a signed copy of Robert O’Dwyer’s music score of Eithne, part of Princess Grace's collection, which contains a large number of signatures from that last night in 1910.

A talk and drama (1 hour) at The Princess Grace Irish Library on the Rock followed by a drink.
With award-winning Dublin author Dermot Bolger and dramatic readings by actors from Monaco-Ireland Arts Society from Bolger’s play adaptation of Ulysses by James Joyce.

The writer explains how his initial terror at approaching Ulysses as a playwright, reflects the terror of many readers due to its mystique and complexity. He takes as his starting point, a complaint by Nora Barnacle (Joyce’s wife) that he kept her awake at night, laughing as he wrote it.
