Jonathan Dove’s breakthrough work, Flight, is a superb original modern-day operatic comedy which has found universal popularity, with many different productions and over 150 performances to date across the world.

An opera by Jonathan Dove

The Irish premiere of Jonathan Dove's timely, often hilarious and moving opera Flight is ready for take-off.

An overnight success when first performed, Flight, with a libretto by April De Angelis, is loosely based on the true story of an Iranian refugee stranded in Paris airport for 18 years and his interaction with a group of storm-grounded travellers.

Opera Collective Ireland, winner of Best Opera (Semele) at this year's Irish Times Theatre Awards, brings you a first-class, vibrant young cast, directed by Stephen Medcalf and they will be joined by the Irish Chamber Orchestra conducted by Wyn Davies. The production is designed by Maree Kearns and lit by Kevin Smith.
