Bruno Ravella's production features excellent singing from its principals in Dublin, but it is Sinéad Campbell-Wallace who shines as the eponymous heroine. 

Orpha Phelan directs a terrific cast of singers in an inventive and faithful production making for an evening to remember. 

The Belfast Philharmonic Choir with the Ulster Orchestra and four local soloists give a very mixed performance of Mendelssohn’s most famous oratorio.

Byrne is stunning in the title role while a strong cast of singers, orchestra, classic sets and dramatic acting make this a thoroughly enjoyable performance. 

Tom Creed's take on Offenbach's opéra fantastique works best in the Olympia act in this new production in Dublin.
