Our Festival Opening Ceremony and free open air lunchtime recital in Millennium Park Lismore is the perfect opportunity to enjoy some of the classical and operatic repertoire highlights from Blackwater Valley Opera Festival.

Celebrate BVOF 2026 with free Open Air recitals across both Cork and Waterford – in Youghal, Castlemartyr, Lismore and Dungarvan. Outdoor events are weather dependent – updates will be communicated via email and social media.

Attendance is free of charge. Pre-booking required.

The BVOF Open Air recitals are kindly supported by both Cork County Council and Waterford City and County Council.
