Lunchtime at the Opera

National Concert Hall – lunchtime concert

Friday 7th November 2025

As we entered the winter season, the FTRA went indoors for the November outing, for a celebration of operatic favourites. It included well-loved arias, duets and ensembles from La Traviata, La Boheme, Carmen, Don Giovanni, The Merry Widow and several others.

These were sung by established artists Sandra Oman soprano, Simon Morgan baritone, and David Wray piano, who have been enjoyed by FTRA members on previous occasions. They were joined by two TU Dublin Conservatoire emerging stars, Cliodhna Regan Soprano, and Edward Finegan Tenor; who are commencing their careers at the Wexford Festival Opera and at the National Concert Hall Dublin.

The concert took place in the John Field Room of the NCH abd was followed by a private two-course lunch in the NCH’s Iveagh Room.
