Limerick Opera Festival
Memories

We enjoyed a fabulous list of events in our festival this year. We hope you all enjoyed some really great events with Limerick Opera Festival 
We are really hoping to make many more new friends along the way as we continue to entertain with a wide variety of events.
So keep an eye here & come along & join us to celebrate opera in our beautiful riverside city.
There is something there for everyone!

The Limerick Opera Trail Walk

Local historian Sharon Slater took us on an amazingly interesting and informative walk around Limerick city showing us places of interest with an operatic theme. This walk & talk was also linked to our upcoming publication on the history of Limerick Opera which is due for publication soon. We are currently working on the finishing touches of the book. It is an enthralling potted history celebrating the past, present & future Limerick musical talent of this genre. 
A publication not to be missed from Sharon Slater & LOF!

This was a free event & we hope to have more of the same in the future

Be sure to order your copy of
River Notes ~ Opera in Limerick
This walk highlights many of the interesting facts in the book.

Catherine Hayes Tribute Concert 
St Mary’s Cathedral
An incredible night of music & song

I hope you were with us to hear the amazing Ami Hewitt perform a selection of the arias performed by the Swan of Erin during her illustrious career, accompanied by pianist Irina Dernova.
We were also so blessed on the night as Irina Dernova completely captivated the audience with some wonderful piano soloist pieces.
