Irish National Opera and Cork Opera House are proud to announce Ireland’s only Opera pilot event in collaboration with The Arts Council and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
An evening with Majella Cullagh and guests presents arias from Norma, Tosca, La traviata, La bohème, Rigoletto and more.
Let Majella Cullagh cast an operatic spell on you. The first live opera event in Cork Opera House in 15 months, this will be an unforgettable evening.
Majella will be joined by soprano Emma Nash, mezzo-soprano Niamh O’Sullivan, tenor Gavan Ring and baritone Brendan Collins, accompanied on the piano by Gary Beecher. From Bellini’s magical aria ‘Casta Diva’ from Norma to the famous quartet from Rigoletto by Verdi, this unmissable operatic evening of much-love arias and ensemble numbers will enthrall you.
Due to limited capacity early booking is advised.
