Cork Opera House has had a glorious history of both culture and architecture dating back to its inception in 1852 when it was first built on Anglesea Street to house the National Exhibition. Why not take a theatre break in Cork and stay in The Address Cork?
The modern refurbishment of the theatre happened in 965, due much to the hard work of the people of Cork who dug deep to help rebuild this building. Completed in 2000, the complex then included the main auditorium, two bars, corporate boxes, foyer, café and shop. Through recent years upgrades and consistently improve the building even further including new seating, a new café area, new acoustics, sightlines and state of the art equipment.
Today Cork Opera House is southern Ireland’s premiere venue for the best concerts, comedy, drama, dance, family fare, and, of course, opera. Located in the heart of Cork City, the Opera House has been a Cork cultural institution for nearly 160 years and will continue to strive to present and produce both indigenous and international top class acts for the people of Cork and further afield. This is a building to be proud of and a building which is proud to be pure Cork.
