Music and dance, indeed all the other performing arts, are a way of life in Ireland, and the region has more than its fair share of talent. Major venues in our big towns and cities attract the finest national and international artists on a regular basis, from the worlds of pop, rock, and classical music, and you can find scintillating nights of wonderful traditional Irish music in pubs and hotels. There’s powerful drama at our theatres and opera seasons in the gardens of beautiful stately homes.
