The Cork Opera House is a theater and opera house located in Cork city center. Built in 1855, it is one of the city’s most emblematic buildings. This is where all the major plays and opera concerts are held: a treat for music lovers!
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!
