Partnerships

We are proud to celebrate the generous supporters, partners, and friends who make opera in Ireland’s Ancient East possible year after year. Your belief in our work, your enthusiasm, and your community spirit ensure that the joy of music continues to thrive in the Blackwater Valley region.

Through the commitment of our festival partners, we are able to stage world-class performances, support outstanding emerging artists, and nurture the future of opera and classical music. We are especially grateful for the backing of those who champion our Schools Programme, inspiring a lifelong love of music in the children of this cherished region.

Each summer, our historic venues are transformed by music, artistry, and audiences. We extend heartfelt thanks to our generous hosts at Lismore Castle, Dromore Yard, Salterbridge House, Tourin House,  St Carthage’s Cathedral, and Villierstown Church – whose dedication makes these magical settings come alive.

Above all, we are indebted to our BVOF Ambassadors and volunteers. Your time, energy, and passion are at the heart of the festival – an enduring reminder that this is truly a community celebration.
