Finn Varra Maa is a 1917 opera by the Irish composer Geoffrey Molyneux Palmer (1882–1957) to a libretto by Thomas Henry Nally (1869–1932).
John Moody conducted the performance, with George O'Neill as chorus master, and costumes were designed by the Dun Emer Guild.
[1] The title of the work translates from Gaelic as meaning "good Finbar",[3] and it is subtitled An Irish Fairy Pantomime in four acts.
[6] Journalist Fintan O'Toole wrote that Finn Varra Maa was a "conscious attempt to repel the invasion of the alien Santa".
The composer, Mr. G. Molyneux Palmer, has devised a light and dainty setting for solos and choruses alike and his work should meet with general appreciation.
