Protest over city theatre’s closure for three months

SCORES of people, mainly from the arts community, protested outside one of the country’s largest theatres which is set to close its doors for three months tomorrow.

The 1,000-seater facility will remain closed until September 28, apart from three nights sold out for Daniel O’Donnell concerts and another night for an Aprés Match performance.

Lisa Zagone, who organised the protest, said she was hoping people power would force Opera House management to change their mind.
