Rambert’s fearless dancers take centre stage performing Sharon Eyal’s fierce, pulsating choreography to an original soundtrack of driving techno from Ori Lichtik and GAIKA. Director Kibwe Tavares brings this together with a vast film fantasy, thick with atmosphere. Sisters Aisha and Abhaya are seeking refuge from a violent homeland. We encounter them washed ashore in a strange land; a fireside ritual; Blade Runner-style cityscapes, and a huge augmented-reality Spirit. A co-production between Rambert and The Royal Ballet, in association with BBC Films and Robin Saunders.

'Méilte Cheann Dubhrann' is a traditional Irish song, in a new arrangement created by composer Neil Martin for Northern Ireland Opera. We filmed at Ballintoy Harbour in County Antrim, and the song is performed by mezzo soprano Margaret Bridge, tenor John Porter, cellist Neil Martin (who also arranged this version of the song) and pianist Ruth McGinley. 'Méilte Cheann Dubhrann' is the penultimate film in the new series of Northern Songs, which celebrate the stunning landscapes and landmarks of Northern Ireland through songs written by and performed by composers and singers from across the island of Ireland. A Mhéilte Cheann Dubhrann, is sibh a thógfadh dom cian Tráthnóna sa tsamhradh nuair a luíos an ghrian Nach aoibheann do chladaigh d’oíche is de ló Is a Mhéilte Cheann Dubhrann, céad slán libh go deo [English translation: Oh sandy hills of Ceann Dubhrann, it’s you that set me thinking Of a summer’s evening as the sun sets How beautiful are your beaches by night and by day Oh sandy hills of Ceann Dubhrann, a hundred farewells to you for good] Nach sna méilte udaí a chaith mé seal aoibhinn gan ghruaim Ag buachailleacht eallaigh fá imeall an chuain Is ann a bogadh mo chliabhan nuair a bhí mé beag óg Is a Mhéilte Cheann Dubhrann, céad slán libh go deo [English translation: Wasn’t it in those yonder sandy hills that I spent some beautiful carefree time Herding cattle around the harbour’s edge And it was there that my cradle was rocked when I was small and young Oh sandy hills of Ceann Dubhrann, a hundred farewells to you for good] Tá néaltaí na maidne ag breacadh sa spéir Tá na coiligh ag scairtigh le bánú an lae Tá an soitheach ag fanacht in imeall an cheo Is a Mhéilte Cheann Dubhrann, céad slán libh go deo [English translation: The morning clouds are dappling the sky And the cocks are crowing as day breaks The boat is waiting on the edge of the mist Oh sandy hills of Ceann Dubhrann, a hundred farewells to you for good] Nach trua mise amárach ag dul idir dhá dtír Agus sléibhte na coigríche ag cur cumha ar mo chroí Beidh mo rosca mar shruthán ag síorshileadh deor Is a Mhéilte Cheann Dubhrann, céad slán libh go deo [English translation: Won’t I be sad tomorrow on my travels As the foreign mountains make me long for home My eyes will be streaming torrents of tears Oh sandy hills of Ceann Dubhrann, a hundred farewells to you for good] The opera singers who perform in this new series of Northern Songs are all previous finalists or winners of the Glenarm Festival of Voice, which is now in its eleventh year. Sopranos Catherine Donnelly and Susie Gibbons, mezzo Margaret Bridge, tenors John Porter and Andrew Irwin and bass-baritone David Howes perform across eight films in this new series which has a special focus on counties Fermanagh, Armagh and Tyrone, although we have filmed across Northern Ireland, from deep underground in the Marble Arch Caves all the way to the edge of the rocks of Balllintoy Harbour, made famous as the Iron Islands in Game of Thrones. The films were directed by Marty Stalker and produced by Causeway Pictures, with drone footage by Conor Driscoll. You can find out more on Northern Ireland Opera's website, www.niopera.com. The singers are wearing scarf and dress designs by Sara O'Neill which feature myths and legends from Irish history and mythology, from her Éadach collection. Whether you have visited these locations before, or perhaps might plan to do so once the public health situation allows, we hope these films encourage you to explore both the music created on this island as well as the beautiful and historic locations and landmarks which Northern Ireland has in abundance and which feature in these films. . . . . .#Irish #irishsong #irishlanguage #singinginirish #songsinirish #méiltecheanndubhrann #neilmartin #cello #piano #duet #operaduet #operavoices #glenarmfestivalofvoice #ballintoyharbour #ironislands #gameofthroneslocations #seaside #coast #musicvideo #musicfilm #traditionalirishsong #folksong #emigrationsong #emigration #countyantrim #embraceagiantspirit #fillyourheartiwithireland #beach #eadach #saraoneill #drone #dronefootage #waves #greyjoy #gameofthronestour #visitnorthernireland #discovernorthernireland
