Bloomsday Celebrations at Pavilion Theatre
Cove Productions in association with Focus Theatre presents
The Tower
By Joe Joyce
Starring Tom Hickey as James Joyce
and Bosco Hogan as Oliver St. John Gogarty
Joyce and Gogarty were close friends in the year leading up to Joyce’s departure from Dublin into self-imposed exile in 1904. The friendship disintegrated into long-term enmity after a celebrated falling out in the Martello Tower in Sandycove which involved a nightmarish black panther and a real gun and formed the backdrop to the opening chapter of Ulysses. The Tower brings them back to Sandycove in the present day,
as they look back on their friendship, their art, and their lives with humour, insight - and more than a century of hindsight. This production was a sell out success in Bewley’s Café Theatre last summer.
“Elegant, well-observed, genuinely witty, and above all, intelligent. . . . an offering of quite extraordinary quality.” - Emer O’Kelly, Sunday Independent
Monday 15th - Friday 19th June @ 1pm Tickets €14 (inc sandwich)

DLR Glasthule Opera presents

Musical tribute by Emmanuel Lawler to John McCormack, James Joyce and others with Padhraic O’Cuinneagan at the piano.
This Bloomsday evening Emmanuel Lawler - Ireland’s most renowned young tenor - pays tribute to the famous names of past generations of Irish Tenors - John McCormack, James Joyce, Dermot Troy and Frank Patterson in a programme of all-time classical McCormack and Joycean favourites such as Danny Boy, Love’s old Sweet Song (Just a Song at Twilight) and Roses of Picardy.

DLR Glasthule Opera presents Summer Nights At The Opera
La Bohème
Considered by many to be Puccini’s most popular opera La Boheme tells the story of youthful love, loss, poverty and joy. From the sheer romance and beauty of arias like Che gelida manina (Your tiny hand is frozen) and Mi chiamano Mimi (They call me Mimi) to Musetta’s famous Waltz Song (Quando m’en vo) Puccini’s masterpiece abounds with wonderful music while giving us a glimpse of life in the Parisian Latin Quarter.
Tuesday 23rd/Thursday 25th/ Saturday27th June @ 8pm Tickets €40
********************OPERA ********************
DLR Glasthule Opera presents an Operatic Double Bill in English
The Wandering Scholar
Riders to the Sea
The Wandering Scholar, Gustav Holst’s last opera is a comedy set in a farmhouse in the French countryside. The plot is based on a story by the Co. Down writer, Helen Waddell, a contemporary and friend of W.B. Yeats. The young wife, Alison entertains the local priest, Fr. Philippe while her husband is out. A student traveller calls to the house - etc!
J.M. Synge’s powerful play Riders to the Sea is very much a part of Irish theatre history. Vaughan Williams’ opera is true to Synge’s words while taking the terrible tale of life and loss in the Aran Islands to a height which can only be achieved by music as towering and threatening as the sea itself.
Wednesday, 24th/Friday 26th June @ 8pm Tickets €40
