CA IRA
An Opera In Three Acts By
ROGER WATERS
From the Original Libretto by Etienne & Nadine Roda-Gil
Before the rise and fall of the guillotine, before the terror took hold, there was The People. They fought for a better world based on the ideals of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, instead of the one ruled by a callous and outmoded nobility. It is the story of hope and promise that inspires CA IRA, the extraordinary new opera by the legendary Roger Waters. Brought to life by the world-renowned talents of baritone Bryn Terfel, soprano Ying Huang and tenor Paul Groves, Waters, with collaborators Etienne and Nadine Roda-Gil, sets the opera during the optimistic early days of French Revolution. A work of stunning beauty and power, CA IRA evokes the passion, faith and madness of a time that forever changed nature of the world.
Includes a DVD ‘THE MAKING OF CA IRA’, directed by Adrian Maben, featuring a behind-the-scenes look at the opera, from concept to completion, together with exclusive interview footage of Roger Waters, the soloists, the musicians and the cast of CA IRA.
