This group is all about hosting a monthly in-person book club right here in Dublin City! If you're into the book we're reading and want to chat about it with others, this is the perfect spot for you. We'll meet for about 1-2 hours, enjoy some drinks and/or food, and dive into the book of the month—sharing our thoughts, exploring themes, and swapping recommendations for future reads. We suggest a €2 voluntary contribution per person to help cover MeetUp fees (cash or Revolut works). See you there!
Supper Club - Seoul Food
Supper Club - Seoul Food
Seoul Food - Supper Club 🇰🇷 Join us for an evening inspired by the bold, comforting flavours of Korea. This supper club is a little love letter to my obsession with K-dramas and the incredible food that so often steals the scene from sizzling grilled meats to vibrant side dishes packed with flavour. The evening will feature a curated multi-course menu showcasing classic Korean flavours: savoury, spicy, slightly sweet, and deeply comforting. Expect dishes made to be shared, warm conversation around the table, and the feeling of travelling through food without leaving the city. Your evening will include: • A welcome cocktail • 3–4 courses inspired by Korean cuisine • An intimate table of fellow food lovers Whether you're a long-time fan of Korean food or trying it for the first time, this supper club is all about good food, good company, and discovering something new together. Seats are limited to keep the experience intimate.
Rusalka (Bord Gáis Energy Theatre)
Rusalka (Bord Gáis Energy Theatre)
Plan to have a pre-show drink at the Bard Gais Energy Theatre, if anyone feels like joining. I'll add more information closer to the date. Please buy your own ticket here: [https://www.bordgaisenergytheatre.ie/show/rusalka/](https://www.bordgaisenergytheatre.ie/show/rusalka/) 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.
