A special, free studio recital from performers from the Irish National Opera’s ‘The First Child’ will take place during Culture Night at Siamsa Tíre.
CULTURE Night sees an explosion of free events taking place all over Ireland on Friday, September 23 this year and Siamsa Tíre, The National Folk Theatre of Ireland, will host four different events.
Two of them will showcase the richness of our local traditional culture and Siamsa Tíre’s young curator Máirtín Ó Cathasaigh is issuing an open invitation to two trad sessions.
One will be for beginners and the other for those with more experience and the aim of both is to share and appreciate each other’s songs, tunes, and skills.

September’s Trad Connections concert will take place on Culture Night and this month’s concert will feature pianist Deirdre Millane, flute and concertina player Róisín Comer and Danny Collins on piano accordion, bodhrán, banjo, and fiddle.
The halls of Siamsa Tíre will also echo to the sounds of opera on Culture Night. In a special studio recital, performers from the Irish National Opera’s ‘The First Child’ will sing a selection of arias and other operatic excerpts from across the canon in an intimate studio setting. Admission is free but booking is highly advised.
If that whets your appetite for more, you can then attend a screening of ’20 Shots of Opera’, a film which features 20 short operas performed by Irish National Opera’s biggest talents which plays from 3pm to 10pm. For more details about Culture Night in Siamsa Tíre, click here.
