Cork Opera House has unveiled an ambitious five-year strategic plan to enhance its producing capacity and facilities, expand its outreach initiatives and increase accessibility.

It plans to conduct a major scoping exercise on its facilities and equipment to identify what needs to be upgraded, and then prepare a 10-year capital investment plan, setting out how it can be financed, to ensure the venue remains competitive.
