In 2008 Anna Livia Dublin Opera Festival is hosting two Grand Operas at the Gaiety from 7th to 14th Sept. For your pleasure, an operatic feast awaits you with Verdi’s Rigoletto, arguably his finest opera, and Samson & Dalila, the exquisitely tuneful work by Camille Saint-Saëns. With ticket prices starting at an astonishingly low €12.50, it is a fantastic opportunity to see Grand Opera, traditionally staged with full orchestra in Dublin. Anna Livia Dublin Opera Festival exists to promote and enable international and national access to the lyrical arts, providing a platform for a uniquely Irish Opera Festival with original Anna Livia productions that stimulate the cultural life of Dublin city.
