Cork Opera House Reviews

Paul Carrack and his band were incredible the sound and lighting in Cork Opera House was amazing.

Great place in centre of Cork City for the best sound.whoever is there

Cork operations house was designed and built in 831ad, to block some of the endless wind and rain that Ireland is known for. Originally it was entirely made of glass, the people of Cork had it rebuilt in 93. Without enough of a budget for the sign, it was shortened to Opera House. Fact.

Love going to shows in the opera house..its a great night out..

It's a good theatre with good prices, but the play was totally ruined by the sound of EVERYONE eating candies and snacks from plastic bags sold by them. Trust me, it was a non-stop concert of crackings and people looking around clearly annoyed by that. Sad, because it was the last day of Wizard of Oz and the play was simply amazing.

Brilliant beautiful venue. Such a pleasure such quality in a city this size.

had a great night at this christmas panto cinderella

Fantastic night this evening with Daniel O Donnell, all ways nice to visit Cork Opera House lovely staff and had a lovely drink at the bar, can't wait to visit soon.

We saw Bombay Bicycle Club here in August. It's a great venue for a gig though the drinks are quite expensive for what is provided, and the bottled drink was lukewarm

Brilliant evening, watching Aladdin. Murphy's was good too...

Had a fantastic time at the Pantomime. .my Grandchildren were home on holidays from New Zealand. .just the best Pantomime. XX

Lacks space, especially in the foyer. Bar service very slow.

Sydney Opera house has nothing on Cork. Reasonably priced for most shows its a must for date night or nights out with friends. The cafe is also a great find surprised at how good the food was. Really like the opera house.

Great place to go with friends and family would highly recommend this place to everyone including tourists

Excellent Panto Cmas 2017...for both adults & children !

Absolutely brilliant very enjoyable experience highly recommend a visit.

Great Panto again this year. Well done to all the cast.

Excellent venue for a gig. Fire alarm excluded, it was a great night out.

Went to see the Bon Jovi experience. I was looking forward to it as we had seen the actual band in 2008 in Punchestown and this band were going to do songs from their early years right up to the present. The songs would be interspersed with actual footage of Bon Jovi. The band were very good. The event was terrible. The bar was open throughout the show which meant people were in and out constantly getting drinks and going out to the loo. Everyone was talking during the performance which caused quite a row a few seats down fom me. It was impossible to hear the video footage. I can't see that this would have been allowed for the likes of a Christy Moore concert for example. We left at the interval it was so bad. I did complain at the time by sending a similar review to this on the Cork Opera House website, and got no reply in return.

If you love opera music then you'd have liked the performance in the green room for the Jazz festival, amazing vocals and double bass guitar combination.

Nice modern interior and good acoustics. Comfortable seating. The cafe in the lobby serves quality food in a friendly atmosphere.

3 Euro for a small bottle of Seven Up. Give customers a break

Great buzz in the Opera House always.Have never had a poor experience here and the stage is clearly visible. Good sound too
Interval bar has a great view.

Very friendly staff. Comfortable seating with good view. Overall amazing night out.

Great night at Wizard of Oz in Cork Opera House congratulations to my son Wayne on a fantastic show amazing production.

Show very diversified and even placed at the bottom we can see!

Great show with Cork Opera House Concert Orchestra. Fantastic evening of traditional and Folk music with tremendous musicians and singers. What more could you ask for?

Very nice theatre with a wide variety of shows on to suit all tastes.

What a great venue....go to Panto there every year ...fantastic. Loads of great shows all year round...

Just saw the illegal Eagles tonight. Fantastic venue great sound. No matter where you sit you can see the full stage.

What a great theatre. Hard to believe that this theatre is more than 50 years old. Constructed in the 60s when there was lots of controversy about the architecture. It has stood the test of time and is being cared for buy a very conscientious board of directors and staff. All the seats in this Theatre have a very good view but I particularly like the balcony which is sloped. The sound is excellent too because of the internal architecture. Last week I attended Madame Butterfly and it was an exceptional performance.

Lovely old theatre with a comfortable bar for interval refreshments.

It was amazing. This opera is a great place to have fun.

Went to see Peter Pan. Kids loved the show, a lil bit expensive but hey pantos are only once a year

Always a good place to go see a show. With good facilities and good seating

Always really good shows on here. Also they do food in the evenings that is so nice.

Great clean venue, i was in row E seat space could be better as you have to stand each time somebody need to pass. The performance was perfect

Excellent concert there last evening - one comment- they should halve the seating in the stalls as it's impossible to enter and exit from a centre seat.

Great night out pints and a laugh and a super panto for all kids and adults I love the way they still have ice cream at the interval brings back great memories

Ray dolan.I could.listen.to.him all night. Smokie absolutely rocked.the opera house,,,

Nice venue! We had seats second from the back and there was still a perfect view of the stage

Nice staff, always good and clean place. My kids love perform here.

Very good place to have laugh and have a good time but one thing that doesn't give it 5 stars it leg room if you're a tall person

Little space between the seats, but the productions are of excellent quality
