From water nymphs to warrior queens - dive into myth, and discover a masterpiece.

Share in the story of the mermaid Melusine, as immortalised by Mendelssohn. Feel the clash of worlds colliding as this fluid dreamscape fades from stormy passion to watery depths. It’s just magical!

Enjoy one of our finest pipers, Mick O’Brien in a world premiere, as he brings The Morrígan, the great warrior-queen goddess of Celtic mythology, to life in Áine Mallon’s extraordinary new work.

Then sweep from the mythical to the legendary for Beethoven’s much-loved masterwork with its light-hearted music, full of invention and unexpected turns. This Fourth Symphony will blow you away with its lyricism, surprising shifts of mood, and good humour.
