ON CAMILLE O’SULLIVAN
Director CHRIS DRUMMOND
The words of great Irish poets are given new
breath in this premiere collaboration between two
inimitable artists.
The poetry of W. B. Yeats and his countrymen has an
inherent musicality and this quality shines through in
Paul Kelly, Camille O’Sullivan and Feargal Murray’s
song-cycle Ancient Rain. Original compositions by these
contemporary masters have been shaped around
the words of more than a century of Irish poetry, and
as Kelly and O’Sullivan incarnate a succession of
diverse characters, a conduit across oceans and time
is opened.
Kelly’s ingeniously understated yet evocative lyricism
and O’Sullivan’s majestic vocal command unite here in
the service of stories of love, loss and redemption.
