Wood Quay Amphitheatre, Thursday 7th August - Thursday 28th August
Opera in the Open is an initiative of Dublin City Council that presents live performances of operatic work in the open air in Dublin City Centre.
Opera in the Open returns for its 26th year this August! The annual opera season is taking place on the last four Thursdays of August, at the Dublin City Council Civic Office Amphitheatre, Wood Quay, Dublin 8.
Each opera performance is presented in an abridged format, narrated in English, and lasts one hour, fitting perfectly into the lunchtime slot from 1 to 2pm. Attendance is completely free of charge, and all are welcome!
The Amphitheatre features a raised stage, seating areas, and grassy verges, perfect for a picnic lunch. It is conveniently accessible from Winetavern Street and space is made available for wheelchair users. Attendees are encouraged to bring cushions, blankets and camping chairs, for additional comfort if desired.
Opera in the Open shows beyond doubt that there is a substantial audience for opera in Dublin. Here in the heart of the city, there's no better way to enjoy summer in Dublin than by enjoying an aria or two at lunchtime each Thursday throughout August.
The 2025 programme will be announced soon…
