Irish National Opera's entertaining Carmen is a hit in Dublin

Andrew Larkin, 7th March

Paul Curran's production of Carmen is entertaining and slick, with Paula Murrihy as a feisty heroine.

Celine Byrne makes INO's Butterfly a memorable experience

Andrew Larkin, 24th March

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.

*****

Britten's War Requiem receives a searing performance in Dublin

Michael Roddy, 9th November

Ailish Tynan's powerful soprano soared above the massive forces of the choir in the thundering "Libera Me" – a wall of sound that blew the audience away.

*****

Closed doors, but a musically stunning Bluebeard's Castle

Pia Maltri, 12th October

Joshua Bloom and Paula Murrihy excel in Irish National Opera's staging of Bartók's opera, although director Enda Walsh takes too many liberties with the libretto.

Don Giovanni in a new adaptation by Roddy Doyle

Pia Maltri, 29th September

Roddy Doyle's new translation is ingenious more often than incongruous; John Molloy's Leporello steals the show in the Opera Theatre's Don Giovanni.
