Cork Opera House |
 |
'The Opera House in Cork began its life
as the 'Athenaeum', after the old Greek
centres of culture and art. It was built
by the trustees of the 'Royal Cork
Institution' at a cost of £6,ooo. Its
architect Sir John Benson had been
responsible for many of the
architectural features of the city. It
was built for the 'promotion of science,
literature and the fine arts, and the
diffusion of architectural knowledge'.
It was to be used for the purpose of
lectures, meetings, and experiments and
for the formation of a museum and the
collection of fine arts in connection
with such subjects. It was also to be
used for balls and other assemblies and
sometimes for concerts and was equipped
for theatrical performances.'

Triskel Arts Centre |
 |
Triskel Arts Centre was founded in 1978,
and moved to its current home in Tobin
Street in 1986. Triskel celebrated its
Thirtieth Anniversary in 2008. As Cork’s
principle Arts Centre our mission has
always been to commission, present, and
promote the contemporary arts in Cork,
and to ensure the arts are made
available to as wide a public as
possible. In
2009 Triskel began a process of
re-invention, partly because
Christchurch, a beautiful 18th Century
building, is to be restored by Cork City
Council, linked to the existing
building, and given to Triskel to
manage. Triskel are also engaging in
this process because it is important to
continue to be relevant for artists,
practitioners and the public at large.
This next phase of development
represents a huge transformation, and
will provide Cork with a beautiful and
vibrant cultural Space for the years
ahead. |
