It all began with the child…..

Following the sensational success of their first two operas, The Last Hotel and The Second Violinist, Donnacha Dennehy and Enda Walsh joined forces in 2021 on the final instalment in their explosive trilogy of suburban horror.

Donnacha Dennehy and Enda Walsh’s third opera, The First Child, is a 90-minute multi-media experience. It brings together a sensational cast of opera singers, an actor, a dancer and a children’s chorus to create a work that electrifies the senses. It wowed audiences and critics at the Dublin Theatre Festival last October and again at Galway International Arts Festival in July.

The First Child, is a narrative that is much larger than the characters themselves. A work that reveals itself incrementally and cuts between the normal and the mythic. Passing through the strange minds of the central characters. Moving sharply from darkness to comedy. Shaped by obsession and unstoppable quest for revenge.

The production brings together a world-class creative team, multi-talented cast, a chorus of children and Crash Ensemble, to imagine a terrifying story of lost innocence—a baby on a beach—and the sea.
