The Wandering Scholar/Riders to the Sea
Opera
“The Wandering Scholar”, Gustav Holst’s last opera is a comedy set in a farmhouse in the French countryside. The plot is based on an episode in the stories of 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 part of Irish theatre.
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.
24th/26th June
