"A novel and telling bite to the overly familiar luxuriousness of Bizet's melodies." My review of @NIOpera's Carmen, featuring Ruby Dibble's "satisfyingly sultry legato", "outstanding" @MaryMcCabeSop, and "characterful" Petra Wells & Jenny Bourke @gohbelfast in @operamagazine.

Opening night @niopera Carmen at Belfast's Grand Opera House. Fantastic role debut by Ruby Dibble, and great performances by local NI singers Mary McCabe, Petra Wells and Jenny Bourke. Bravi tutti 👏👏

[Michael Quinn @Quinnfreelance]

Interesting take on Carmen from @NIOpera tonight at @gohbelfast with Ruby Dibble in her role debut as the femme fatale, @MaryMcCabeSop outstanding as Micaëla, and Petra Wells a fine Frasquita. Review to follow in @operamagazine.

[Matthew Craig @MattGCraig]

Out for an evening of culture watching @NIOpera’s fantastic #Carmen. Though I might be the tiniest little bit underdressed!

[NorthernIrelandOpera @NIOpera]

@StgenevieveS @gohbelfast That's fantastic to hear: thank you for coming!

[NorthernIrelandOpera @NIOpera]

Meet Tom and Mary, our 'Escamillo' and 'Micaëla' and watch a sneak preview of some of our rehearsals as we prepare for the opening night of 'Carmen' at the @gohbelfast on Saturday.
