Shamus O'Brien (opera)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shamus O'Brien is an 1896 opera by Charles Villiers Stanford, to a libretto based on the poem of the same name by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.
The opera is set in the Cork mountains during the Irish Rebellion of 1798 and was enormously popular, though the work was withdrawn by Stanford in the years leading up to the Easter Rising.[1]
