“The fire they lit in Caernarvonshire has already ceased even to be a memory in the land… for their own countrymen openly shrug their shoulders in an unconcealed disdain whenever they hear any reference to the incident.”

Mae Gareth Glyn yn dychwelyd i gydweithio efo OPRA Cymru – yn dilyn lansiad mewn sinemâu ac ar y teledu o’i ffilm opera ‘Tanau’r Lloer’ – a’r opera newydd sydd yn ail-adrodd hanes eithriadol y tri dyn duwiol sy’n mynd ati i gynnau tân mewn canolfan awyr yng Ngogledd Cymru, cyn iddyn nhw ildio’u hunain i’r heddlu ym Mhwllheli.
Er mwyn nodi’r nawdegfed pen-blwydd o ddigwyddiad a roddodd Plaid Cymru yn gadarn ar fap gwleidyddol Cymru, bydd yr opera newydd yn teithio ledled Cymru efo cast serol sydd yn cynnwys Robyn Lyn, Emyr Wyn Jones, a Robin Gruffudd Hughes, a phob un ohonyn nhw wedi cydweithio efo OPRA Cymru yn y gorffennol.
Gareth Glyn returns to work with OPRA Cymru – following the launch in cinemas and on television of his opera film ‘Fires of the Moon’ – on a new opera that retells the extraordinary story of the three God-fearing men who go out one night in 1936 to set fire to an air base in North Wales, before they hand themselves in at Pwllheli police station. To mark the ninetieth anniversary of an event which put the young Plaid Cymru firmly on the political map of Wales, the new opera is set to tour performances across Wales with a stellar cast, including Robyn Lyn, Emyr Wyn Jones, and Robin Gruffudd Hughes, who have all worked with OPRA Cymru in the past.
