Cork Opera House Summer Music
Sam Amidon, who is performing tomorrow night at Vicar Street as support to the Gloaming, and who will be performing at Mitchelstown Cave this July.
With a rebranding (‘to represent music, dance, spoken word, family and fun’) and a new brochure unveiled, Cork Opera House have just announced their summer programme.
Opening the season are the Dubliners (3 June) celebrating fifty years since the formation of the band. Other musical gigs include New Yorkers Alarm Will Sound (6 June) performing the Irish premiere of John Cage’s music-theatre work Song Books; The Sound of Music (27 July-18 Aug), directed by Bryan Flynn; Efterklang (15 Sep); and Opera D’Arte (23 Sep) performing a diverse selection of operatic works.
Size2Shoes (15 July); Katie Kim (21 July); collaborators Hidden Highways and Peter Delaney (11 Aug); and Daniel Martin Moore (5 Sep) will all be on stage at the Half Moon Theatre.
There’s also the return of The Cave series (Thursday, 26 – Saturday, 28 July) at Mitchelstown Cave with artists this year being the Staves, Daniel Martin Moore, and Hidden Highways on the Thursday; Sam Amidon, Puzzle Muteson, and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh on the Friday; and Iarla Ó Lionáird and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, the Lost Brothers, and Sean MacErlaine and Donal Dineen on the Saturday.
The Cork Midsummer Festival features Fabulous Beast’s Rian (21-23 June) and the premiere of Dylan Tighe’s Record (22-30 June). Finally, another chance to see Myles O’Reilly’s film the Music Makers takes place on Saturday, 18 August in the Half Moon.
There are still some tickets available for the Gloaming’s concert tomorrow night in Vicar Street.
