Ciarán Hinds returns to the Gate Theatre for four performances only with The Soldier’s Tale
The Soldier’s Tale is a special night melding multiple artforms – drama, poetry, modern music and dance. Igor Stravinsky’s First World War music theatre piece tells the dark Faustian fable of a soldier who makes a trade with the devil on the promise of untold wealth and success… or so he is led to believe.
This is a unique opportunity to hear one of Ireland’s leading Chamber Music Ensembles, Fews Ensemble, bring this masterpiece to life alongside Oscar-nominated actor, Ciarán Hinds and contemporary dancer, Emily Ayers.
The Fews Ensemble was founded in 2016 and is directed by leading Irish violinist and curator Joanne Quigley McParland. The ensemble brings together the finest musicians and artists from across Europe on a regular basis to present innovative and exciting concerts throughout Ireland. We pride ourselves on thinking outside the box and presenting audiences with fresh approaches to well know masterpieces and introducing them to new or lesser-known works. Since 2020 the Fews Ensemble have commissioned 4 new works from living Irish composers and are passionate about collaborating with artists from all disciplines.
The Soldier’s Tale by arrangement of Chester Music Limited acting on behalf of Itself and Schott Music GmbH and Co KG.
