It’s fair to say Dublin has been waiting for a staging of Rossini’s opera, waiting since 1877 actually. Famous for the use of part of its spectacular overture as the signature tune of The Lone Ranger TV series, William Tell is considered to be one of the most demanding operas ever written including 90 high notes for the tenor.
The Irish National Opera’s co-production with Nouvel Opéra Fribourg sees its 11 roles shared between 14 singers over five performances.
Gaiety Theatre, Tuesday November 8 to Sunday 13, €15 to €85.
