For the very first time the Internationally recognised Sofia City Ballet will perform with pleasure its critically acclaimed production of Swan Lake at Cork Opera House, next March 15th .

Set to Tchaikovsky’s delightful score, Swan Lake is one of the most famous and best loved Ballets in the world. The Sofia City Ballet’s production of Swan Lake is a magical combination of drama and tragedy and the perpetual battle between good and evil. From the splendour of the palace Ballroom to the moon lit lake where Swans glide in perfect formation.

Through the use of sumptuous costumes, wonderful traditional stage sets and decorations, dedication and artistic excellence this classic Ballet is brought to life right before your very eyes on the Opera House Stage by the Sofia City Ballet . This impressive production is truly inspiring to all Ballet fans.

The Montfort College of Performing Arts are proud to present Legally Blonde The Musical JR for four performances only.

Legally Blonde is a fabulously fun, upbeat story of self-discovery, which follows the transformaHon of Elle Woods, as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. This all singing, all dancing, feel-good musical comedy is so much fun it shouldn’t be legal!

Students from the Alan Foley Academy of Dance present Dance Offering 2025 at Cork Opera House for one performance only on Saturday 31st May at 6pm. The students will be accompanied by special guest artistes from Cork City Ballet and Studio D.

Directed and produced by Alan Foley, this production will showcase the varied talents of the students – ranging from classical ballet (Giselle, The Dying Swan and Nutcracker) to energetic modern and jazz dance including Willing & Able from Prince. 

Former students of the Alan Foley Academy of Dance are currently dancing all over the world, and more have gone on to appear with ballet and contemporary companies. Many have performed in West End productions such as Chicago, West Side Story, Mamma Mia and Aladdin, as well as becoming teachers, choreographers, designers and dance directors. 

Principal, Alan Foley said “we promise to deliver an action-packed series of performances which will leave you thoroughly refreshed and wanting more”.

Luail presents its inaugural work, a triple bill of new dance works by choreographers Maria Campos and Guy Nader, Liz Roche, and Mufutau Yusuf. Luail’s ensemble of extraordinary dancers joins the Irish Chamber Orchestra in a vibrant exchange between dance and live contemporary and baroque orchestral works. Chora, an ancient Greek term, refers to space as both a physical place and an abstract idea. This captivating dance show draws on themes of home, memory, and landscape, creating unique atmospheres of imagined possibilities, spaces, and timelines.

With set and costume design by Katie Davenport and lighting design by Sinéad McKenna, Chora sees the dancers and musicians draw on their bodies, instruments, and ultimately, each other. This seamless interplay of movement and sound weaves a powerful expression of connection and the transformative impact of the shared environments we inhabit.

SPECIAL EFFECTS: This production may contain Strobe Lightning, Flashing Lights, Smoke and Haze.

AGE GUIDANCE: Under 16’s must be accompanied by and seated next to a parent/guardian aged 18+
