Grigory FRID The Diary of Anne Frank


BOOK NOW


Opening in Dublin at the Abbey Theatre on the Peacock stage September 10th and touring to Armagh, Drogheda, Navan, Waterford, Kilkenny, Kildare, Roscommon, Dundalk, Tralee, Bray, Galway, Tallaght.

Vivid and insightful, this heartrending opera recreates the world of 13-year-old Anne Frank in hiding, living in hope and fear, longing for normality for herself and her family. Diary entries reveal the enormous emotional pressure Anne Frank was under, yet her powerful optimism and unbending will to live continue to inspire.

Sung in English, the focus is on Anne's original words - her profound thoughts and naive joy over a gift or a patch of blue sky, her fear and determination to remain courageous, her budding love for Peter, her sense of humour and deep hopes for freedom - all find moving and eloquent expression in the poignant score.

Ani Maldjian sings the title role, Andrew Synnott conducts the OTC Ensemble, direction is by Ingrid Craigie and Annilese Miskimmon, design by Nicky Shaw and lighting design by Tina MacHugh.

This powerful production should not be missed.
