Vault artist Christina Nelson set to shine at The Grand Opera House in “FOLLIES”
Northern Ireland Opera has brought together a stunning cast of West End and local stars featuring Lesley Garrett CBE, Jacqueline Dankworth MBE, Anna Jane Casey, Mark Dugdale, our very own Christina Nelson, Richard Croxford, Marty Maguire and Allison Harding to name a few.
“FOLLIES” is a poignant and dazzling exploration of friendship, memory, and the passage of time. Set in a crumbling Broadway theatre scheduled for demolition, the story reunites former showgirls from the celebrated "Weismann’s Follies" revue, who gather for one last reunion. As old flames ignite and long-buried secrets surface, the characters confront their past hopes and regrets through hauntingly beautiful songs and stunning choreography by Jennifer Rooney. It’s a richly layered production that blends nostalgia, glamour, and emotional depth with set design by Niall McKeever and stunning costumes by Gillian Lennox, helping to showcase Sondheim’s genius at its finest.
This production is a testament to the incredible talent within Northern Ireland’s artistic community, featuring outstanding performances, evocative staging by Artistic Director Cameron Menzies, and a live orchestra that brings every note to life led by West Ends Greg Arrowsmith. By booking your tickets, you not only treat yourself to a night of exceptional theatre but also play a vital role in supporting NI Opera’s mission to bring world-class opera and music theatre to audiences across Northern Ireland and beyond.
