It’s opening night in Germany for Opera Collective Ireland – as together with Resurgam and Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, we present a spectacular double bill of Dido & Aeneas and Venus & Adonis at the glorious Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg from 9-11 August 2024.

Listen back here to a fascinating interview on Radio3RBB Germany with our very own Cupid – a conversation with soprano Hannah Gries. In this insightful discussion, Frank Schmid talks to Hannah Gries about the semi-staged production, her collaboration with the Academy of Ancient Music, and the role of Opera Collective Ireland in this exciting project.

Many thanks to everyone who has worked so hard to bring this production to the stage and to all our friends, donors and funders for their continued support.
This project is part of Zeitgeist Irland 24, an initiative of Culture Ireland and the Embassy of Ireland in Germany.
