Overall a fine venue. Was here last week during the jazz and had a poor experience. They only had 4/5 staff (Tekken Security) to check tickets on the way in so this resulted in a large queue that went all the way around the building as far as Paul Street. I would have left the queue and gone somewhere else if i wasn't after already spending 30 euros on the ticket a month ago. They should have put on more staff as they clearly knew how many people had bought tickets, poor management. However, I attended another gig here last weekend and I must say, the venue redeemed itself somewhat. We saw Sinnerboy who were phenominal and there was much less queueing and much more craic. Glad I decided to give the opera house a second chance. Will be back again once there's a better managing of larger events.

1. The Staff: the staff are always great. They are Always very approachable and helpful and friendly. 2. Cleanliness: The opera house is Always very clean. Not a spot of dirt anywhere. 3. Food: There is a very good selection of food and drink. 4. Prices: i find everything to be reasonably priced. 5. Car Parking: there is a multi store car park around the corner from here and a lot of parking by the church just over the bridge. 6. Others: I go every dec 26th to the pantomime. I also saw the Broadway beauty and the beast here along with other shows too. The seats are very comfy. 7. Complaints: i think it was a big mistake to get rid of the isle in the middle of the seats as its more difficult to get in and out of the seats now esp if you are seated in the centre.

The legendary Cork John Spillane playing his first live event in the Opera House Cork his first time playing with a live concert orchestra. A very talented musician that plays a wide genre of music, a Cork native with a gift for story telling in his music in both English and Irish. The atmosphere on the night was very relaxing and captivating and also intimate in such a large venue. A fantastic show and performance on the night, with hopefully more of these to be played with the professional Orchestra. Well done. A great venue with great views of the stage no matter where you are seated.

Omg...staff were brilliant. I rang for a last minute ticket as I couldn't seem to purchase online, the lady on the phone secured me a last minute, best seat. I collected it at the box office, not a bother, so easy. Fantastic the lady in the box office told me without having to ask the direction's to my seat. What a wonderful evening I was blown away by Sally Morgan💯 Fantastic night at the opera😉
