Ireland’s Summer Opera Festival will return in 2022 with Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice conducted by Peter Whelan and directed by David Bolger, from 31 May – 6 June in Lismore, Co. Waterford. We are excited to announce that this year’s opera production will feature artistic collaborations with the acclaimed Irish Baroque Orchestra and award-winning CoisCéim Dance Theatre. The opera Orfeo ed Euridice by Gluck, will be our headline event for evening performances at Lismore Castle, with classical music recitals and concerts, schools and free events, and dining experiences at fantastic venues throughout the Blackwater Valley.
