Let There Be Love

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE…it’s all about LOVE.
Let There Be Love is a celebration of love – pure and simple! Not just Hallmark love, but love in all its forms; platonic, unrequited, broody, young, old, troubled, distant love… the love you have for your partner, mother, child or your best friend. So whether you’re single, engaged, on a first date, a spinster, or married for over 40 years, Cork Opera House has put together something a little unconventional for you this Valentine’s Day. Let There Be Love is a carnival of events including some all-time favourite love themes - from Arvo Part to Donna Summers, Piazzola to Des’ree, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll melt!
But love is a two-way street, and we need YOU to get involved.
The LOVE booth will be a pop-up booth inside the Opera House foyer until Feb 11th. Everyone is welcome to leave a message for a loved one; a selection of which will form part of the evening and be projected on stage to surprise (or embarrass) that special someone. So drop in, sit down and love out. It is also possible to record your own message and email them to us: sdunphy@corkoperahouse.ie
Also this Valentine’s night, speed dating comes to Cork Opera House! During the interval of the show, we will be hosting a special speed dating session in the Blue Angel bar – so register ahead of time to participate: sdunphy@corkoperahouse.ie.
