IRISH NATIONAL OPERA<br />
IRISH NATIONAL OPERA<br />
Irish National Opera is Ireland’s newest and most enterprising opera company.<br />
It champions Irish creativity in its casting, its choice of creative teams and in its<br />
commitment to the presentation of new operas. <strong>The</strong> company performs largescale<br />
productions of works from the great operatic canon in Dublin, Cork and<br />
Wexford and takes touring production to venues of all sizes throughout Ireland.<br />
To date INO has performed in 26 venues in Ireland as well as presented work in<br />
London and Amsterdam.<br />
Irish National Opera responded creatively to the challenges posed by a global<br />
pandemic. <strong>The</strong> company produced a multitude of online concerts and events,<br />
notably it adapted Mozart’s <strong>The</strong> Abduction from the Seraglio into an eight-part<br />
miniseries. <strong>The</strong> company also commissioned and produced 20 Shots of Opera, 20<br />
new short operas for film, a project that garnered enthusiastic reviews from the<br />
international press. INO has produced a number of longer opera films, amongst<br />
them <strong>The</strong> Lighthouse, was screened in outdoor settings, including at lighthouses,<br />
and Gerald Barry’s Alice’s Adventures Under Ground which will be streamed<br />
jointly by INO and the Royal Opera House. Most recently the company presented<br />
a spectacular production of Strauss’ Elektra in the outdoor setting of the Castle<br />
Yard in Kilkenny.<br />
