Birr 2012
A musical journey
Our latest outing took us to Birr Theatre.
Here two splendid tenors, Sean Costelloe and Frank Naughton, took us on a musical journey.
They were supported by a full orchestra. Scenes from the great musicals were shown in the background, while the tenors sang the well-known ballads.
They included Bring Him Home, Music of the Night from such musicals as Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Chess and many more. It was wonderful.
In the second half of the show the tenors sang arias from La Traviata, Tosca and many more.
Prior to the concert we had a delicous dinner in the well-known restaurant The Thatch. Overall it was an evening not to be missed.
