A New Opera by Donnacha Dennehy and Enda Walsh
AMERICAN PREMIERE
Co-presented with PROTOTYPE Opera/Theater/Now and Irish Arts Center.
A man silently mops the floor with a bucket full of bloody water. He prepares a room that’s not yet ready for its next guest. A woman meets a man and his wife in the parking lot. All three are nervous. Tonight there will be a death.
St. Ann’s Warehouse reunites with several of its favorite collaborators for the American Premiere of The Last Hotel, Irish writer/director Enda Walsh’s first opera, composed by Donnacha Dennehy. Dennehy and Walsh also worked together on MISTERMAN, another Landmark Productions creation, which was co-produced with Galway International Arts Festival and starred Cillian Murphy at St Ann’s Warehouse in 2011.
A look at assisted suicide and the marketplace, The Last Hotel will be presented with the popular PROTOTYPE: Opera/Theatre/Now Festival and the Irish Arts Center, two frequent partners of St. Ann’s Warehouse. Wide Open Opera co-produces with Landmark.
The Last Hotel is the fifth Enda Walsh work St. Ann’s has brought to New York, following THE WALWORTH FARCE, THE NEW ELECTRIC BALLROOM, PENELOPE and MISTERMAN.
