The Countess Salon presented by Opera Workshop

Ever in demand, The Countess will be visiting Friars Gate Theatre, Kilmallock, Co Limerick and St John’s Theatre, Listowel, Co Kerry in December, bringing a touch of Christmas to her very popular Music Salons with a fine programme of opera, operetta, song and Christmas favourites.

Isabelle de la Rose is a charming, witty, rich and recently widowed Countess who loves to host musical evenings. So popular were her Opera Salon’s in 2017 that she returns to the gorgeous Georgian Drawing Room of No 1. Pery Square, Limerick and you are invited. Or meet this charming lady and her entourage on tour at Friars Gate Theatre, Kilmallock and St John’s Theatre, Listowel in December for a magical Christmas evening.
Meet the Countess’ handsome and devoted nephew, enjoy glorious singing, but watch out for unexpected and unwanted visitors as the Countess’ past threatens to catch up with her. Tensions rise, tempers flare, love is lost and found in what promises to be a glorious evening of classic opera, well-known songs and musical highlights, including those by Puccini, Bizet and Mozart. This is a Salon that does not go smoothly for the Countess in a romantic, nostalgic story of star-crossed lovers, feuding divas and a pushy tiger mama.

The cast includes some of Limerick’s best-known singers, with Sarah-Ellen Murphy, Roisin Walsh, Eve Stafford, Kevin Neville and Catriona Walsh, and piano accompaniment by Irina Dernova. Directed and produced by Shirley Keane.

All three shows at No 1 Pery Square sold out very quickly in 2017 and places are limited.
Happily, the Countess’ Salon has two additional performances in 2018! Book now for the Countess’ Salon performances at the intimate theatre settings at Friars Gate Theatre, Kilmallock and St John’s Theatre, Listowel, for a very special Christmas evening.
