Irish National Opera is one of Ireland's largest arts organisations[1] and presents opera in Dublin, on tour across Ireland and internationally.[2] Irish National Opera was created from a merger of the Opera Theatre Company (OTC) and Wide Open Opera in 2017 and launched in January 2018.[3]
Irish National Opera was officially launched on 9 January 2018 with an inaugural concert, The Big Bang! at the National Concert Hall in Dublin[4]. A national tour of Thomas Adès's chamber opera Powder Her Face followed in March 2018.[3][5][6]
