An Opera for Carlow Insert 7
from Athena Media - Podcast Directory
This is the seventh in our series following a community arts project in Carlow which is an opera being crafted by conductor Fergus Sheil and written by the Belfast composer Brian Irvine in collaboration with the people of Carlow. Next May the opera will be staged in Carlow in one of Ireland's newest and most impressive new theatres - the George Bernard Shaw Theatre at Visual. The opera which is called 'Shelter Me From The Rain' will feature the stories and voices of Carlow town and county. We'll be tracking the progress of the opera here on In Tempo over the coming months. This month we're following the hunt for the soloist voices who will perform Brian's work. After months of out-reach work and voice workshops about fifty local people auditioned for a solo spot and we went along for the final nerve-wracking competition to hear some of those seeking a challenge.
