Cork Opera House Reviews

Be careful of your seat choice if you have long legs

Box office staff always.efficient and friendly and food counter is excellent with great table service with a smile from all

A perfect venue for an intimate gig or show, have been many times and always impressed with the venues amenities and location.

Great venue for Concerts, Shows & all kinds of Entertainment!

I go there about twice a year with my little niece and she really enjoys herself, which take a lot of pressure from us.

Great viewfrom all the seats on the ground floor, easy to get to.

Had a great time staff friendly and perfect size theatre

Brilliant sound and cosy place for concert,great view of stage wherever you sit and no standing

Always a fun night out. They have great shows throughout the year

Watched Clannad farewell tour, absolutely brilliant

Went to see Snow White, and twas an amazing performance, I strongly recommend, the crowed from cork are amazing, and they made the story very contemporary, lovely pinch of to-date pieces of music. Very interactive with the audience. Worth watching it indeed. The kids loved it

Love the opera house. Great production of Madam Butterfly

Good experience here 2 weeks ago.fantastic performance at the wizard of oz.all staff lovely and very well organised.pity about the coffee machine being out of order on the day

Small but fully formed venue. It's hard to be far from the stage. Nice cafe and bar for the intervals (but the cafe in the lobby doesn't take cards, so bring folding money.

We'll persanly we got the private area next to the Lord mare so we had a splendid time

Beautiful building which was an appropriate setting for a eonderful concert by the defence forces bands. Unforgettable night

Really nice place...always a pleasure to visit.
Great sound inside theatre.

Great night out at the Newstalk radio Off the Ball show.

Excellent, pity they did not walkway down the centre

Great venue with comfortable seating warm friendly place helpful staff and great shows

Without question the best venue in cork(maybe even Ireland!) to see see a concert/show etc. Sound is always spectacular and no matter if your seated or standing you always have a good view. Been here a lot the last few year, always a great experience. :)

Albert Hammond was just superb at Cork Opera House tonight, playing non-stop for over two solid hours! Great to see such a huge song-writer/musician in Cork and playing wonderful old and not-so-old favourites! His mother having died a few days ago had insisted that the show must go on... Albert, you did her proud!

Very accessible building , staff so helpful and kind. Great venue!

Great show tonight - fine theatre. Within walking distance of everything in Cork centre.

Tried to book for Don Giovanni in Cork. This must be the world's worst e-commerce web site! No way to conclude my purchase of tickets. I think I'll buy a nice CD instead. Bad luck, Cork Opera.

I've being there few times and sometimes they have great concerts. I would love more shows for kids a part of pantos.

Great night, seats are too small, no leg room, or room for coat/bag.

One of Cork's main theatres that can take a decent audience. The theatre sometimes gets big one night performances that book out well in advance so keep an eye on whats on to avoid missing out. The only annoying thing is there's no centre aisle anymore, so getting to the middle of the row can be very annoying and inconvenient.

My granddaughter had a wonderful time watching the pantomime. The cast really got the children involved and plenty for adults too. Highly recommended.

Went to see this years' pantomime "Cinderella" with the kids. Everyone enjoyed it and had a laugh. Great fun!

We went to the moscow ballet here, ballet was amazing but we were quite disappointed in the opera house itself. For some reason I expected it to be more glamerous and ornate of which it was neither so quite disappointing

I like going to the Opera House it's a great night out

I personally don't like this theatre, the last time I was there I was given a broken seat for a show.

Great venue for family entertainment as well as great gigs.

Girl with torch to assist with seating was too young and useless at her job. People in the row in front of us arrived late. Show was on and she didn't help the suitation. She just stood there. I would be better if I stood up myself and took care of things

Such a wonderful venue with really great staff members.

Went to see loads of shows here the most recent was finbarr furey last night ... and as always the cork opera house is a great venue

Service at the bar was slow not enough staff on duty.

Easy to find, close subsidised parking and a great night out

Love the whole ambience in the opera house but certainly needs updating.

Great venue in the centre of Cork city. Bar can be tough to get to during intermission.

Great show. Still waiting for dvd ordered over a month ago.

Great production of Wizard of Oz, excellent cast. However, the seating is very uncomfortable & I can't understand why plastic bags aren't banned from a venue with live performers- the noise level was appalling & this must be insulting to the great actors on the stage as well as being a distraction. This was the noisiest live production I've ever been to. Why do people have to eat constantly? Surely they can eat beforehand?
Otherwise, Opera House is a great venue to gave in our city centre & is very well run by all involved.

I had an ulterior motive for wanting to go because I had long loved Mary Black and also we were going to Kinsale for the weekend. Nonetheless, the venue was very, very nice. It reminded me of the Barbican in London, in that it's very spacious inside, the design was lovely with very pale wood and curving in such a way that it felt very spacious. The seats were slightly tight but nothing to write home about and, hey, it's a theatre. Inside nice, staff very good. As a venue, it was lovely, I would readily return. Recommended.

We had a fab night at the panto. Very busy but we'll staffed and organized. My only gripe was the cost of refreshments. I paid nearly 7 euro for 2 rather small tubs of ice cream and a small bottle of water. Just as well I wasn't feeling very hungry
