“We wanted to find something that was ambitious in scale and involved as many composers, writers and performers as possible,” Sheil, the Artistic Director of Irish National Opera, said in a press release. “Something that would harness the talents of literally hundreds of artists, each working in small pods and each team contributing to a gigantic burst of creativity. ‘20 Shots of Opera’ came out of that. Everyone I asked has rallied to it.”
