Edel Quinn Hall Kanturk, Saturday March 16th

Cara O’Sullivan has become an artist with an impeccable operatic pedigree and has risen to prominence as one of Ireland’s leading sopranos. She is an instinctive performer with a remarkably full voice, exciting and dramatic, yet always performs with great sensitivity. She has shown herself to be a fearless vocal artist, whether singing Mozart, Verdi, Donizetti or Puccini.

Her US debut as Queen of Night at the Cincinnati Festival Opera was a huge success and the Cincinnati press enthused – “Cara O’Sullivan dominated her scenes with a voice of steel and sparkle, and practically pulls you from your seat!!”
“Ms. O’Sullivan is undoubtedly the Irish superstar of her generation.” (The Irish Times)

Cara’s concert career spans an impressive and wide-ranging repertoire. Her concert performances have included the Palau Musica, Barcelona, The O2 Dublin, The Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, The Barbican, Concertgebow in Amsterdam; Warsaw Philharmonic Hall, Birmingham Symphony Hall, Le Conservetoire du Nice, The Cultural Concert Hall Singa
