Backstage Theatre is set to host two new shows this Autumn

Backstage Theatre Longford is set to receive two new shows this Autumn, bringing to the stage ‘The Ennio Morricone Experience’, a recital that highlights the Maestro’s great contribution to Italian and International music and film, and Rothar, a non-verbal production drama show for children. 

‘The Ennio Morricone Experience’ brings the audience on a journey to celebrate the Maestro’s great contribution to music and cinema.

Along with his pieces from films like The Mission, Cinema Paradiso, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West and A Fistful of Dollars, the glittering ensemble of piano, string trio and singers (led by Annalisa Monticelli with soprano Katy Kelly) will perform compositions which inspired his genius, and selections by contemporaries like Rota (The Godfather) and Piovani (Life is Beautiful/La Vita è Bella).

Musical Director: Annalisa Monticelli

Ensemble

• Katy Kelly (Soprano)
• Morgan Crowley (Tenor)
• Annalisa Monticelli (Piano)

Tickets for Ennio Morricone at Backstage Theatre Longford on Saturday, October 7, at 8pm are available on 0433347888 or backstage.ie. 

‘Rothar’, a non-verbal show for children aged four and older, tells the story of a little bike shop at the end of town, where a world of adventure awaits. Two boys and their bikes travel the world in a show that conjures play from every day and where anything is possible.   

Created by Branar and performed by Miquel Barceló and Moisés Mas García, this joyful production celebrates the places your imagination can take you.

‘Rothar’ is produced in association with Drama NUI Galway and Baboró International Arts Festival for Children as part of Creative Europe’s Mapping Project.

‘Rothar’ comes to Backstage Theatre on Thursday, October 12, at 10am and 12pm. Contact Backstage on 04333 47888 for bookings.
