Here’s what some members have said about CoOpera8:
“It's a great idea. I love drama, dance, music, and art so the offer is perfect for people like me. It's great to be able to go to plays and not have to pay a fortune. As I have a job, I pay for most things in life at the moment so it is great to be able to pay less for a show.” – Skibbereen student
“I joined CoOpera8 last year and I found it really worthwhile. It was a great way to motivate me and my friends to go to the theatre and make ourselves more cultured! It's brilliant getting the seats for cheaper cos as poor students we can't afford the other prices.” – Douglas student
“I think it is a fantastic idea. It definitely makes the Cork Opera House more accessible to students.” – Clonakilty student
