    Renée Zellweger as Judy Garland.

    What’s On in the Arts Sept-Oct 2019

    0
    By Senior Times on August 21, 2019 Features, The Arts, Uncategorized

    A busy time for the Arts as we head into the Autumn. If you still need some sun, then check out Sorolla: Spanish Master of Light at the National Gallery.  Impressionist Sorolla earned the sobriquet Master of Light from fellow artist Claude Monet who admired his technical skill in depicting water and light. He travelled widely throughout Spain, but his breezy and vivid beach scenes of children, bathers, fisherfolk and workers remain wonderfully evocative of the Mediterranean. An extensive learning programme accompanies the exhibition. See nationalgallery.ie for more.

    Sculpture in Context at the National Botanic Gardens is something of a win-win for both parties. Over 140 sculptures, from the surreal and straightforward to the fantastical and whimsical, will be found nestling in the shrubberies and standing in the shade of the trees throughout the gardens, as well as in and out of the ponds, Great Palm House, and Curvilinear Range. Smaller indoor works will be shown in the Gallery in the Visitor Centre. From Sept 7 at botanicgardens.ie

    Four leading traditional musicians, Tara Breen, Laoise Kelly, Josephine Marsh and Nell Ní Chróinín, pool their considerable talents in the opening concert series from Music Network. (musicnetwork.ie for details)

    September signals that it is time once again for the Dublin Theatre Festival. As usual, there is a dizzying array of theatrical goodies on offer. Among these is Hecuba, a new play from Rough Magic which re-imagines of the aftermath of the Trojan War and the events surrounding its iconic characters.  While in The Playboy of the Western World, an all-female creative team promise a fresh new take on a classic. International work is not forgotten with the revisit of OBIE Award-winning Nilaja Sun and her one-woman show, Pike St. fresh from critical acclaim in the U.S.  Delve deeper at dublintheatrefestival.ie

    Downton Abbey hits cinemas on Sept 13 – you’re either a fan or not, but you won’t be able to ignore it. Irish film director John Crowley of Brooklyn fame has a new film, The Goldfinch, based on the book of the same name by Donna Tartt on release on Sept 27. While Renée Zellweger, no slouch in the singing department, takes on the title role of Judy Garland in Judy. Oscar-winner Zellweger delivers a note-perfect performance as Garland during the last year of her life in the moving adaptation of the stage play End of the Rainbow. Music biopics have proved very popular of late, and anticipation is high for this one – October 4 everywhere.

    Finally, Culture Night is back on September 20 – bigger, better, and pretty much everywhere (culturenight.ie).
