Mary O'Hara, May 1982

“Mary O’Hara, the Emerald Isle’s first lady of song, brings her Celtic Harp and glorious soprano voice to the Gordon Craig for the first time on Thursday 27 May. In the few years since she resumed her career after a long retreat in a closed monastic community — movingly recounted in her autobiography The Scent of the Roses — Mary has reached new heights in international popularity; notices worldwide abound with comments like ‘exquisite purity and delicacy’ (Evening Star, Washington DC), ‘the art that conceals art’ (Post, New Zealand), and ‘a first day freshness’ (Joyce Grenfell in The Observer, UK). She has recorded more than a dozen best-selling LPs, has repeatedly packed venues like London’s Royal Albert and Festival Halls, and has captured hearts on four continents through her TV appearances. Now she comes with her supporting musicians, to sing for you — don’t miss her!”
