The libretto, by poet Vona Groarke, is based on Chaoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire, the famous poem written by Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill in the aftermath of her husband’s murder in 1773.

The programme will also feature the Irish premiere of Olga Neuwirth's Miramondo Multiplo and the world premiere of a new piano concerto by Ed Bennett.
