DLR Glasthule Opera

Friends of DLR Glasthule Opera

DLR Glasthule Opera was founded to establish an annual Festival of Opera in Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown. As a resident of one of the most vibrant areas in the county, the founder Anne-Marie O’Sullivan deems it a great privilege to denote DLR Glasthule Opera as the name of the company. Every great adventure requires a nucleus and the encouragement and support she has received from the area and County Council has been tremendous.

Moliere said: “Of all the noises known to man, opera is the most expensive”

DLR Glasthule Opera seeks sponsors/business partners to engage in a long term cultural programme to enhance both business and community in Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown. The Arts can be a valuable tool. We offer businesses exclusive access to creative and performance skills, brand engagement, entertainments, PR and press opportunities and skill-based workshops where the skills of the singer can be transferred to the corporate environment.

The first ever Opera Festival to take place in Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown was in June 2009. DLR Glasthule Opera was launched at a Gala Evening on June 15th 2008 to a packed house at the Pavilion Theatre.
