The Limerick Opera Festival hosts a number of events ranging from performances to workshops during the annual festival weeks in May of every year.
Established in 2019, The Limerick Opera Festival was created to bring opera to all through a wide variety of live performances, operatic renditions, exhibitions and community events.
With a splendid operatic history, Limerick has produced many iconic figures of the operatic genre – from European idol Catherine Hayes, to Joseph O’Mara, to (in more recent times) Suzanne Murphy. Through this initiative, we seek to foster a community that celebrates our past and brings beautiful creations into our future.
Some of the events that will be taking place during the 2025 festival include:
A gala concert in Sarsfield Barracks
Operatic Memorabilia Exhibition
A screening of Maria in the Belltable
The Limerick Opera Trail Walk
On street operatic aria events
