Cork Opera House is a theatre and opera house in Cork, Ireland, with a history marked by destruction and renewal. The original venue opened in 1855 on Emmet Place, positioned behind the Crawford Art Gallery. After the building was destroyed by fire in 1955, a replacement structure opened a decade later in 1965. The modern venue, which underwent further additions in the early twenty-first century, seats approximately 1,000 patrons and has developed into an active cultural hub, hosting over one hundred theatre, music, opera, and comedy events annually.
