Wide Open Opera

One of the largest opera productions ever to be staged in Ireland, Fergus Sheil oversaw and conducted the Irish premiere of Nixon in China with Wide Open Opera for three performances at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, Dublin with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra in May 2014.

This highly acclaimed production was previously presented at Vancouver Opera and San Francisco Opera directed by Michael Cavanagh it featured breath-taking sets by Erhard Rom including a life-size presidential 747 jet that landed spectacularly in Peking with the aid of inspired video by Sean Nieuwenhuis.

The production featured Australian baritone Barry Ryan as Nixon with outstanding sopranos Claudia Boyle and Audrey Luna as Mrs Nixon and Madame Mao respectively. A specially assembled chorus sang and a hand-picked dance company were led with new choreography by Jessica Kennedy.
