Il Divo: Putting the pop in opera

IT’S the event Cork has been talking about for months. On June 21, Musgrave Park will become the centre of midsummer celebrations as the City of Cork Symphony Orchestra will be joined by Il Divo for a fully seated five-hour extravaganza.
“It’s the kind of major show that appeals right across the board,” says Brian Murphy, leader of the CSO, who secured the operatic pop act for the city.
