The Ferryman?

[Ivy Lin]

I know this had a long run in London to great acclaim, and I finally saw it on B'way and ... I wasn't all that taken with it.

Perhaps as it’s not an opera? Interesting thought, though. Anyone know of any opera or music theatre set during the Troubles?

No, but WNO's recent I Puritani used them as its setting. I thought it a little confused but I did like it. It originated with NI Opera and the director (Annilese Miskimmon) is from Belfast so presumably certain aspects of the staging were authentic.
