The Blackwater Valley Opera Festival (BVOF), which returns to the region from May 29 until June 5, was officially launched last week at Lismore Heritage Centre.
Centred around Verdi’s Macbeth at Lismore Castle, the 2023 opera festival is set to see 21 events take place across 12 venues and is expected to draw more than 4,500 visitors to the region.
Speaking with The Avondhu at the launch on Thursday last, Festival Director, Eamonn Carroll said that we was ‘delighted’ to see so many members of the community attending the launch, stating that he is ‘looking forward to the festival’ again this year.
