Cú Chulainn By Éadaoin O’Donoghue & John O’Brien

About this event

Cú Chulainn is a sequel to the five-star 2022 opera Morrígan which was widely praised by critics: “a legend brought brazenly to triumphant life” The Irish Times; “remarkable” Opera Magazine; “enthralls from first scene to last” The Irish Examiner. Commissioned by The Everyman, and based on the characters of the Táin, this new work explores the great and tragic story between Cú Chulainn and Ferdia, the intricacies of Queen Medb’s court, and the demise of Conor Mac Nessa. Cú Chulainn will star Niamh O’Sullivan, Rory Dunne, Gavan Ring, Ronald Samm, Rachel Croash, Brendan Collins, Gráinne Gillis, Viktor Priebe and Chorus, with the Cork Opera House Concert Orchestra, conducted by John O’Brien.
