Irish National Opera

**Irish National Opera** is a dynamic opera company based in Dublin, Ireland, known for bringing fresh energy to both classic works and contemporary productions. Founded in 2018 through the merger of two existing companies, they’ve quickly made a name for themselves by championing accessibility and innovation. Their repertoire mixes beloved staples like Puccini’s *La bohème* (featuring iconic arias like “Che gelida manina”) with bold modern works, such as Gerald Barry’s *Alice’s Adventures Under Ground*, which they premiered in 2020.

With a focus on collaboration and nurturing Irish talent, the company tours nationwide, making opera approachable for audiences across the country. They’re also passionate about spotlighting new compositions, as seen in their vibrant recordings and performances of Barry’s quirky, avant-garde take on *Alice*. Whether reviving classics or pushing boundaries, Irish National Opera blends artistry with a down-to-earth vibe, proving that opera can be both timeless and totally fresh.
