Anger as Cork Opera House axes panto’s live music
Professional theatre musicians condemned the move ahead of Beauty and the Beast opening last night and called for a reversal of the decision.
“We condemn this shortsighted cut. Highly trained, experienced, instrumental performers now find themselves unemployed at what is usually their busiest time. Over 100 young trainee musicians, on dedicated degree courses in Cork, now have to look further afield for recognition and the opportunity for employment in their chosen profession,” the Cork Professional Theatre Musicians group said.
