Next October Irish National Opera, in partnership with Irish Baroque Orchestra, will present the first ever Irish performance of any of the operas written by one of the world’s best-loved composers, Antonio Vivaldi.

Tom Creed’s new production of Vivaldi’s Griselda opens at the Town Hall Theatre in Galway on Saturday 12 October. Creed’s approach to Griselda takes as its starting point the fact that our contemporary world is more like 18th-century Venice than we imagine, with our every move being watched and recorded. His new production will be full of Venetian intrigue, and at the same time draw on contemporary reference points, including House of Cards and The Crown — to bring these parallels to vivid life on stage.
