About this event
Offenbach's underworld farce, complete with the can-can, is the comic entry in Dublin's free lunchtime opera season. Abridged to an hour and narrated in English, it is the most accessible of the four for anyone who has never sat through an opera. The amphitheatre is wheelchair accessible and the performance goes ahead in light rain.
Why we picked it
The funniest and most approachable date in a free opera series that consistently over-delivers.
Free entry
"Attendance is completely free of charge, and all are welcome."
