Opera House hosts family shows

WITH school children off for mid-term and the weather likely to be showery, the Opera House is hoping parents will avail of a programme of family shows.

Remember Frank McNamara and his piano playing? Well his four children are now the Irish Von Trapps and the four of them, aged 9-14, will be putting on an interactive music show at the Opera House tomorrow night.

Tickets are €21 but family tickets cost just €50. Well-known tunes will be hidden in classical pieces for the audience to guess. And, Frank will attempt to beat the world speed record for playing The Flight of The Bumble Bee on piano, timed on stage by a member of the audience.
