Bloomsday is a joyous celebration of arguably one of the greatest novels in the English language: Ulysses by James Joyce, published in 1922. An accomplished musician himself, the writings of Joyce are musical landscapes, laden with songs and operatic works of the day. 

 Accompanied by David Wray on piano, soprano Sandra Oman (as Molly Bloom), will dazzle with musical delights, including: Love’s Old Sweet Song, I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls, The Holy City, Sweet Rosie O’Grady, The Last Rose of Summer, Habanera (Carmen) and Mi chiamano Mimì (La Bohème). Legendary Irish actress, Mary McEvoy (as Nora Barnacle) will read extracts from Ulysses, and reflect, with Molly, on Joyce’s life. 

 A recital for lovers of Bloomsday, Joyce, or simply beautiful songs of yesteryear!
