Irish National Opera present Berlioz's Beatrice & Benedict, a sparkling adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic comedy Much Ado About Nothing, that proves that the art of romance is ageless.
Best enemies and more than just verbal sparring partners, Beatrice and Benedict love to quarrel, needle and sling insults. Their battle of wits echoes the playful complexities of modern relationships, where humour often disguises true feelings.
Award winning actor Fiona Shaw is the narrator, with acclaimed mezzo-soprano Paula Murrihy, celebrated for her powerful and nuanced portrayals in productions from the Metropolitan Opera to Covent Garden performing as Beatrice. The charismatic tenor David Portillo brings his refined vocal artistry to the role of Benedict.
Sung in French with English surtitles.
