The following is the text of an email from Agnes Aylward, Manager of the Irish-Newfoundland Partnership, Dublin, to officials in the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, about the performance of Ann and Seamus in Waterford.
I just have to let you know that those of us who were lucky enough to see and hear the truly amazing presentation of the Shallaway Opera, Ann and Seamus, were absolutely mesmerised by the performance. The opera was performed in Cork and in Waterford earlier this week. I was at the latter venue, together with some members of our board and it was a privilege to be there.
These young performers are the best possible ambassadors that Newfoundland could have. It was a brilliant and imaginative production worthy of any world stage. The singing, choreography and stage presence of the young performers was superb. Perhaps most impressive of all was the discipline of the young people on stage and off. INP hosted a small reception for them later and we met many of the performers who, at that stage, had dropped the professional mantle and had reverted to being happy relaxed teenagers, full of fun and having a great time after the last performance of their tour.
Congratulations again to Susan Knight and to Jillian Keiley who pulled off a spectacular success.
Kind regards,
Agnes
