Double Bill by Irish National Opera: Trade & Mary Motorhead
Irish National Opera presents Two searing one-act operas: Trade and Mary Motorhead
Irish composer Emma O’Halloran has turned two of her uncle Mark O’Halloran’s plays into a critically acclaimed double bill.
Act 1 – Trade: In a guesthouse in Dublin’s north inner city, a vulnerable and confused young rent boy sits with a middle-aged client. The older man has blood on his shirt. A lot has happened since the two last met. Sung in English. Cast: Oisin O’Dalaigh as Younger Man and John Molloy as Older Man.
“It’s 21st-century verismo, using psychological revelations instead of physical violence as dramatic catalysts.” — The Wall Street Journal on Trade
Act 2 – Mary Motorhead: Mary Motorhead has been locked in a prison cell after stabbing her husband in the head with a 12-inch carving knife. While he lies in intensive care, Mary reflects on the events that have brought this turbulent rural marriage to such a crisis. Sung in English. Cast: Naomi Louisa O’Connell as Mary Motorhead
“a monodrama featuring the vivid, charismatic Naomi Louisa O’Connell” — The New York Times on Mary Motorhead
“It’s a rich experience, full of drama. A bitter-sweet and enthralling evening of new opera.”– Irish Independent – Katy Hayes
