“The Lyric gives voice to everyone in Northern Ireland,” says the theatre’s boss, Jimmy Fay. “It’s a beacon.” Fay views the 2026 programme, celebrating 75 years of the Lyric, as an opportunity to showcase current creative talent, as well as honouring the theatre’s past.

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers at their finest, lighting it up with “A Night in Tunisia”

Fascinating and involving to see @DruidTheatre's compelling, dark and dangerous Macbeth from the crow's nest of the raised on-stage seating @LyricBelfast. Superb anchoring performances by Marty Rea & Marie Mullen, @IamSeanKearns deftly multi-tasking & stealing the Porter's scene.

Good to be at the launch of @LyricBelfast's 75th anniversary exhibition and be reminded of a remarkable legacy. Vivid speeches from @moneillsf & @little_pengelly recognising the Lyric's contribution to NI. A spur to more funding for the arts @gordonlyons1?https://t.co/EmP8dRhEyu

Thank you, Michael.

Congrats to @LyricBelfast's @Jimifay on his fourth successive year in @TheStage 100, "the definitive list of the most influential figures in the UK theatre and performing arts industry". And to ex-pat Liam McMullan, working wonders @theBarnTheatre, for his debut on the list.
