Cork Midsummer festival

* TODAY AT THE FESTIVAL

Opening today is Siamsa Tire’s What the Folk?, Dylan Tighe’s Record at the Half Moon Theatre and Ronan Leonard’s Adventures of a Music Nerd at the Crane Lane. The Gavin Bryars’ Ensemble’s one-off performance of The Sinking of the Titanic is at City Hall tomorrow.

The reaction to the first performance of Pagliacci at the Everyman on Wednesday night can best be described as ecstatic. The opera continues from tonight until Tuesday, with no show on Sunday.
