Folk.

Ga er maar even voor zitten. Een onwaarschijnlijk mooi werkstuk. Ik heb er van begin tot eind van genoten, en dat gaat nog wel een paar maal gebeuren. 

John Spillane’s “Fíoruisce – The Legend of the Lough” is epic storytelling, requiring a scale of ambition that few would contemplate. It sits alongside such fine works as Peter Bellamy’s The Transports and Anaïs Mitchell’s Hadestown.

Fíoruisce – The Legend of the Lough is a two-hour ‘Gaelic folk opera’ in three acts that employs a cast of some of the finest singers and musicians. It is an astonishingly impressive achievement; the listener can but be in awe at what it takes to write and produce a musical work of such quality that has so many lyrical, vocal and musical parts. It is a macaronic, bilingual work, sung variously in Irish Gaelic and English. Its creator, singer and songwriter, John Spillane, has described it as his “magnum opus.”
