What to Expect

Cu Chulainn is a new opera by composer Eadaoin O’Donoghue and librettist John O’Brien, the creative team behind the hugely successful 5-star opera Morrigan (2022). This is the first public sharing of the new work, presented as part of The Everyman’s EVERYMAN MADE programme of in-house productions, in a unique co-production with Cork Opera House. The opera draws on Irish mythology, bringing the legendary hero Cu Chulainn to life through original music and dramatic staging.
