Cork Opera House: The latest quartet of Cara O’Sullivan Associate Artists have been announced
CEO Eibhlin Gleeson joins us on the show as the latest quartet of Cara O’Sullivan Associate Artists have been announced.
Mezzo-soprano Niamh O’Sullivan, soprano Kelli-Ann Masterson, tenor Dean Power, and bass-baritone Rory Dunne will form the next quartet of Cara O’Sullivan Associate Artists from September 2023-September 2025.
These performers will make their debut as Associate Artists at a special, free-to-attend Opera Gala, held in association with Irish National Opera on Tuesday, September 12.
This Cork Opera House and Irish National Opera Gala will be free of charge to the public – a gift to the city, in Cara O’Sullivan’s name - and will feature the Cork Opera House Concert Orchestra.
As Cara O’Sullivan Associated Artists, each performer will perform solo recitals at Cork Opera House throughout 2023-2025. Details of the times of the concerts will be available shortly at corkoperahouse.ie. Dean Power will perform the first of these solo recitals on Culture Night, September 22.
These performances will be free to attend, but spaces will be limited and will be available to book through the Cork Opera House website and Box Office.
