Derry Choir Fest: A Night at the Opera

Raise the curtain on this year’s City of Derry International Choir Festival with a spectacular evening of drama, beauty and vocal power. A Night at the Opera brings together the majestic forces of our Festival Chorus, the world-class Ulster Orchestra, and acclaimed soloists from Irish National Opera for a rousing performance of operatic favourites, under the baton of Conductor, Ryan McAdams. 

Hear the passion and pathos of Verdi’s Nabucco, the fiery spirit of Bizet’s Carmen, the tender tragedy of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, and the glorious sweep of Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana. 

Ulster’s premier orchestra will team up with around 100 voices from across the North West of Ireland, the Festival Chorus, uniting community and artistry in a breathtaking choral experience. 

This stirring gala will undoubtedly set the tone for a week of unforgettable music-making in Derry. Don’t miss this powerful Festival opening!
