Tom Ripley is a nobody – scraping by in New York, forging signatures, telling little white lies—until a chance encounter changes everything. When a wealthy stranger offers him an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy to bring home his wayward son, Dickie Greenleaf, Tom leaps at the opportunity.
But in the sun-drenched glamour of 1950s Italy, surrounded by shimmering waters and whispered secrets, Tom is seduced by the life Dickie leads—the freedom, the wealth, the effortless charm. Fascination turns to obsession, and as his grip tightens on Dickie’s world, the lines between truth and deception begin to blur. What starts as an innocent opportunity spirals into a chilling game of lies, identity theft, and murder.

The ten-strong ensemble cast is led by Ed McVey as Tom Ripley. Ed was one of the stars of the hit Netflix show The Crown. EastEnders regular and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Maisie Smith will star alongside him as Marge. This electrifying new stage adaptation of THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY brings Patricia Highsmith’s iconic psychological thriller, which inspired the acclaimed movie and Netflix series of the same name, to life like never before. With razor-sharp dialogue, simmering tension, and a dangerously charismatic antihero, this gripping production will pull you into Ripley’s intoxicating world—where nothing is quite as it seems.

Driven by her consuming love for a human prince, water nymph RUSALKA abandons her realm to navigate his mortal world. A tale of longing, transformation and the high cost of desire, Dvořák’s rich, lyrical score brings this darkly poetic fairy tale to life with the iconic Song to the Moon at its heart.
Irish National Opera’s new production features a world-class cast, with Irish soprano Jennifer Davis in the title role. A rising star on the international stage, her performance in INO’s Faust (2023) was praised as “exquisite and vibrantly emotional” (Sunday Independent).

New York tenor Ryan Capozzo is the Prince, with American mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung as the witch Ježibaba and Croatian bass Ante Jerkunica as Rusalka’s father, Vodník. Soprano Giselle Allen is the Foreign Princess with baritone Benjamin Russell as the Gamekeeper. Completing the ensemble are sopranos Rachel Croash and Sarah Richmond and mezzo-soprano Alexandra Urquiola as the Wood Nymphs.
Direction and design are by the visionary Netia Jones, who co-created and directed INO’s Olivier award nominated Least Like The Other, Searching for Rosemary Kennedy. INO’s Artistic Director Fergus Sheil conducts the INO orchestra and chorus.

Rusalka is sung in Czech with English surtitles.
