​
Roger Doyle’s 'distinctive… strangely beautiful' (Critics Choice Award Opera News, USA, 2021) full-length electronic opera iGIRL was originally released as a studio recording, produced during the covid lockdown. This late-evening concert will be the first chance to hear extracts from the work performed live, sung by three of the most compelling artists working in Ireland today.
​
iGIRL explores female grief, sorrow and sacrifice and – through the voices of mythological and historical characters – offers an insight into themes highly relevant in contemporary society. In this concert we meet Joan of Arc, Oedipus and Antigone.
