I got a preview of Cork's new immersive light and sound experience — here's what to expect

The Promise will run at St Fin Barre's Cathedral from December 9 to December 19

A portion of St Fin Barre Cathedral lights up, giving just a taster of what is to come this December when The Promise takes over the cathedral. Audiences can expect to see the whole interior, including the cathedral’s pillars, arches and decorative surfaces light up with projected images.

Gazing at the light projections lighting up the interior of St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, I was mesmerised by the changing imagery accompanied by spine-tingling vocals that echoed through the centuries-old cathedral.

Sitting in a pew of the historic Cork landmark, I found myself becoming quite emotional as I was given a preview of The Promise – a new immersive light and sound experience coming to Cork this December.
