Hear, hear for John McCormack
A MUSICAL about the life of acclaimed tenor, Count John McCormack, returns to Cork’s Everyman Palace Theatre on May 13. It sold out there ten months ago. I Hear You Calling Me: The Story of Count John McCormack will feature songs popularised by the singer, such as ‘Macushla’, ‘Because’, ‘Roses of Picardy’ and ‘Somewhere a Voice is Calling’. The show will be narrated by radio presenter, Kevin Hough. It stars tenor, Frank Ryan, in the title role, with soprano, Linda Kenny, playing McCormack’s wife, Lily Foley.
Directed and written by a former head of music at RTÉ, Cathal McCabe, the show also features violinist, Daniel Lehane, and pianist John O’Brien.
