Following last year’s audience favourite Front of House, composer Tom Lane, librettist Lily Akerman and director Conor Hanratty join forces again to bring you a new site-specific opera which explores another side of Cork’s beloved Opera House.
Join an ensemble of colourful operatic characters on a backstage odyssey to the spaces in the building they never want you to see.
