I’m excited to watch Tosca being performed from the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin this evening, though I’ll be sat at home on my computer, as the opening night is being streamed live in HD on the Platform Ireland website.
The only opera I’ve ever seen live was one I was working backstage on, and I’ve never managed to get to see one properly as a member of the audience, which is a silly situation now that I think about it.
For people in Dublin who can’t make it to the Gaiety, and still want to watch it with other people, there is a free live public screening will also be held on Thursday evening commencing at 7.30pm in the Wood Quay Venue as part of Innovation Dublin’s 2010 Festival.
There’s a nice synopsis of the three acts on the Opera Ireland page for the event, just so you know what’s going on as you listen to the beautiful music.
