SUMMARY:Washington\, DC
DESCRIPTION:Underdog history comes to life through new music and old Irish songs in The Hunger by composer Donnacha Dennehy. It is an opera about the Great Famine of 1845-52\, rooted in Asenath Nicholson’s harrowing first-person account in Annals of the Famine in Ireland. Featuring acclaimed ensemble Alarm Will Sound (Nonesuch Records at BAM\, 2014 Next Wave) and celebrated Irish folk singer Iarla Ó Lionáird\, The Hunger imagines soprano Katherine Manley as Nicholson and Ó Lionáird as the voice of the voiceless\, with instrumentalists integrated into the staging. Old recordings of traditional sean-nós songs dovetail seamlessly with Dennehy’s score\, while video clips of interviews with Noam Chomsky\, Paul Krugman\, and others underscore the political roots of this tragedy that brought a nation to its knees. \n
