About this event

Mihalovici/ Beckett / Synnott - A Work in Progress Presentation. The Last Tape is a hybrid adaptation of Marcel Mihalovici’s chamber opera in one act, with a libretto by Samuel Beckett, based on his play Krapp’s Last Tape.

This work in progress redux presentation, shown in advance of its Irish premiere at Kilkenny Arts Festival later this year, marks the twenty-sixth Beckett production directed by Judy Hegarty Lovett and her third collaboration with singer Mark Padmore. Padmore is joined by pianists Ellen Jansson and Izumi Kimura, under the direction of Grammy-nominated conductor Elaine Kelly, performing Andrew Synnott’s new arrangement of Mihalovici’s original score. Actor Conor Lovett joins Padmore in the role of Krapp.

Presented by New Music Dublin with support from the Arts Council and in partnership with RTÉ and the National Concert Hall.
