'The military will fight, and we will sing': Ukrainians arrive for Lismore opera
Stanislav Kuflyuk and Rusana Koval will perform in Lismore, at the Blackwater Valley Opera Festival.
Three Ukrainian performers flew into Cork on Thursday, on their way to Lismore for the Blackwater Valley Opera Festival.
Stanislav Kuflyuk, Rusana Koval and Iryna Krasnovska will be the first Ukrainians to perform at the festival, and are replacing a Russian choir, the four-member Bolshoi Theatre Young Artists Recital, whose invitation to attend was withdrawn following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
