Visit the Cork Opera House

A place steeped in 250 years of history

Make no mistake: although built in 1855, the Cork Opera House has been rebuilt and renovated several times, after suffering 2 successive fires (one in 1920, the second in 1955).

Completely rebuilt in 1963, and renovated in 2003, it is a true cultural center, designed to pay tribute to the arts in all their forms. It offers a rich and varied program in a majestic hall with exceptional acoustics.

Don’t hesitate to book a ticket: for an evening, you’ll discover a grandiose architecture, reminiscent of the Cork of yesterday and today. Prices vary from show to show, so book in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises!
