Lloyd-Webber to get intimate in Ireland
Opening on Saturday, Jan 31, at Cork Opera House, his tour will see him perform at several of Ireland’s more intimate venues, in Portlaoise and Offaly as well as Dublin, before finishing at Tralee’s Siamsa Tíre. He recently featured on the Late Late Show, performing an arrangement of the popular classic Greensleeves with his wife Jiaxin Cheng.
Lloyd-Webber has completed a new CD with Cheng, a cellist more than 20 years his junior, whom he married in 2009. Finding a limited choice of music for two cellos, they turned to the vocal music repertoire for inspiration.
