About Northern Ireland Opera
Come along to Flowerfield Arts Centre for a free lunchtime performance of Opera and Musical Theatre in Portstewart. Listen to us perform an hour of arias and songs – one of NI Opera’s free performances taking place throughout this summer around Northern Ireland.
As Northern Ireland’s national opera company, we are the only professional company in the country producing full scale work on stage and which celebrates and platforms Northern Irish artists, for audiences from their local communities and beyond. We contrast this with nimble smaller scale high quality productions which we tour to communities across the country where there is low/no classical music provision. From teenagers experiencing their first opera, to those with a lifelong love of the artform; our critically acclaimed produced work across opera and our award-winning music theatre productions engage audiences in a unique experience rooted in a country with a rich history of music.
