Lady Gregory in America
Newly Commissioned Opera by Alberto Caruso and libretto by Colm Tóibín
Lady Gregory in America, Tóibín’s third opera, reuniting him with the composer Alberto Caruso, reflects another of the author’s literary fascinations.

His operatic comedy follows her American adventures with other revolutionary Irish women.
