Abbey Theatre |
 |
The Abbey Theatre was founded in 1903 by
W. B. Yeats and Lady Augusta Gregory.
Its precursors were the Irish Literary
Theatre and Frank and Willie Fay’s
National Dramatic Society. With
patronage from Miss Annie Horniman,
premises were purchased on Old Abbey
Street and on December 27th 1904, the
Abbey Theatre opened its doors for the
first time.

Gaiety Theatre |
 |
For over 138
years The Gaiety Theatre has given the
people of Dublin opera, musicals, drama,
revues, comedy, concerts, dance,
festivals and pantomime. Amid the
laughter and tears, through times of war
and times of affluence, The Grand Old
Lady of South King Street has remained a
vital and ever changing expression of
Irish culture and Irish society. Long
home to the familiar faces of Maureen
Potter, Niall Toibin, John B. Keane,
Anna Manahan, Des Keogh and Rosaleen
Linehan, whose bronze handprints, are
set into the pavement in front the
theatre, together with those of Luciano
Pavarotti and Brian Friel, are testament
to the longstanding association these
great artists have had with Dublin’s
Gaiety Theatre.

RDS |
 |
Over the course of three centuries
the RDS has pursued, with vigour, its
mission to encourage the development of
agriculture, arts, science and industry
throughout the country by educating,
providing practical guidance, rewarding
excellence and encouraging ability. Its
mission remains as relevant today as it
was in 1731. The Society draws its
strength from its independence and
impartiality; it relies on its own
resources to fund its activities; and on
the voluntary input and support of its
Members who give of their time and
expertise to serve on its Council and
Committees. |

The Gate Theatre |
 |
The Gate Theatre has been, artistically
and architecturally, a landmark building
for over 250 years. Established as a
theatre in 1930 by Hilton Edwards and
Micheál MacLiammóir, the Gate offered
Dublin audiences an introduction to the
world of European and American
avant-garde theatre and also classics
from the modern and Irish repertoire. It
was with the Gate that Orson Welles,
James Mason, Geraldine FitzGerald and
Michael Gambon began their prodigious
acting careers.
The Gate
continues to represent Ireland at the
very uppermost level of artistic
endeavour and internationally its
reputation has never been higher,
receiving numerous invitations each year
to major festivals all over the world. |

ambitious programme of 505 concerts and

Hall. |
