INO Gala Celebration: Solstice at Twenty
To mark the 20th anniversary of Solstice Arts Centre, Irish National Opera presents a gala concert celebrating the beauty and drama of opera. Acclaimed soprano Claudia Boyle and baritone Séan Boylan are joined by four rising artists from Irish National Opera’s Studio, performing with the INO Orchestra.
The programme brings together some of the most celebrated arias and duets from across the operatic repertoire, showcasing both the brilliance of internationally recognised performers and the promise of outstanding emerging Irish voices. With the full richness of orchestral accompaniment, this special concert promises a spectacular and fitting highlight of Solstice’s anniversary celebrations. Irish National Opera joins Solstice Arts Centre on this milestone occasion, marking a valued partnership that has brought opera to Navan since the company’s founding in 2018.

“Any opportunity to perform at home is a special one, but it’s a special pleasure when it is in a venue as unique as Solstice Arts Centre - a venue which champions all artistic forms. I can’t wait to celebrate its 20th birthday!” – Seán Boylan
“Irish National Opera is delighted to congratulate Solstice Arts Centre on its 20th anniversary. Over the past two decades, Solstice has established itself as one of Ireland's most important regional arts venues, bringing ambitious, high-quality artistic experiences of national impact to audiences in Meath.
INO values our partnership with Solstice, which has involved a wide range of opera productions over the years. The commitment of the Solstice team has made the venue a special stop on our national tours and a wonderful place to share opera with audiences.
We are proud to have shared so many memorable performances there and look forward to creating many more together in the years ahead. Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to Solstice's remarkable success over the last twenty years.” - Fergus Sheil INO Artistic Director
