For the first time in Ireland OTC toured with an orchestra playing on the original instruments - the London Baroque Sinfonia. One of the greatest works of the eighteenth century, this production of Rodelinda toured to eight theatres with ten performances. Laurence Cummings conducted and James Conway directed, design was by Neil Irish and Lighting Design by Simon Corder. The cast featured Helen Williams, Jonathan Peter Kenny, Yvonne Howard, Nicholas Sears and Charles Johnston.

Rodelinda is a celebration of love and fidelity in marriage, against all odds. The opera also has a special resonances of OTC as it tells the story of the parents of young Flavio - whose later exploits were dramatised in the company's vibrant production of Flavio in 1994/5 and which was described by The Observer as "the best Handel opera performance in living memory"
