'With a perspective as a deaf artist, Alan Davis crafts a symbiotic relationship between sight and sound, accompanied by a unique soundtrack. The film “Sky Dance” is enriched by the fragmented subtitled text contributed by Laura Fitzgerald. The convergence of auditory and visual elements amplifies the intricacies of the subjects explored, together with American Artists Sarah O’Brien and Chrysta Hooper. The film incorporates kinetic sculpture in the form of kites to explore themes related to conservation and ornithology. The film furthers Alan’s 2021 work titled “Dreams of Flight” which was shortlisted for the RDS Visual awards that year. The night takes an interactive twist with a game orchestrated by Padraig Sinnott as he embarks on a performative exploration delving into the antics of television sitcoms.' Emmm.

There are four shorter works also running throughout the festival, two by Puccini, one by Donizetti, one by Rossini. While paying punters sometimes takes their chances with the main operas, these are the real crowd-pleasers. And they are waaay more affordable than the biggies. Then there is all the other stuff that we come to expect on the festival programme: lectures, interviews, gala and choral concerts, lunchtime recitals, the 'Factory Concert' and the much-loved pop-up performances.
