OTC Young Artists are delighted to be returning to Renvyle House Hotel for a Weekend of Opera, commencing Friday February 26th - for details, click here.

Opera Theatre Company is proud and delighted to have received two nominations in The Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards.

Alcina - the Autumn production of our Handel commemoration year - is nominated for Best Opera Production.

Our unique Young Associate Artists' Programme has received a nomination for the Judges' Special Award, for its commitment to fostering Irish-based talent.

Link here to the full list of nominations.

Many congratulations to all nominees.

The weather has defeated us! Ann Murray and some of our UK-based special guests are snowbound, with weather forecasts predicting a worsening rather than improvement of weather conditions over the weekend.

Opera To Celebrate will no longer take place at 8pm on Saturday January 9th, 2010. It has been postponed to Tuesday April 6th.

The National Concert Hall will contact ticket holders individually.

A more detailed news item will follow, also keep an eye on our website and Facebook page.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our supporters.

As a little Christmas gift to all our supporters around the country who might otherwise be unable to attend, O'Callaghan Hotels has generously agreed a room rate for OTC supporters for the nights of Jan 8th & 9th so that Opera To Celebrate can become the pinnacle of a relaxing (or sales-shopping) weekend right in the heart of Dublin City at either The Alexander, The Davenport, The Stephen's Green or The Mont Clare Hotel - click here for details of an Offer To Celebrate!

Opera Theatre Company has its own Facebook page. This allows us more immediate contact with our friends, operating in real time, as well as providing us with the opportunity to share images, updates and links that relate to opera in general, or the arts in Ireland, or other subjects relevant to our life as a national touring opera production company - posts that may not have a place on permanent display on our website, but that complement our main website and give a further insight into the company.

Our Facebook page also allows "fans" to make comments, engaging with us and each other, should a post inspire them to do so. These comments have already proved both funny and throught-provoking. It's also good to know you are out there and what we do isn't happening in a vacuum!

We hope you enjoy our Facebook page as much as we do - click here to visit OTC on Facebook.
