Opera House gets spring in its step

Cork Opera House’s spring line-up of events kicks off on Sunday with a concert in honour of Luke Kelly.

“Celebrating Luke Kelly” is a 30th anniversary concert featuring Dubliner Chris Kavanagh which, the organisers say, will capture the depth and passion of the “King of Balladeers”.

Other musical highlights this month include a sold-out show from X-Factor winner James Arthur on Feb 4, Damien Dempsey on Feb 14 and the Three Tenors on Feb 22.
