Art & Music are two bears that live in Kilkenny. They LOVE opera. We are genuinely complimented that they also love Opera Theatre Company! However, though we succeed in touring high quality opera throughout the island of Ireland, a diet of us alone would not fill these hungry Bears, who travel the world to satisfy their Opera appetite.
