With his trademark charisma and “grandezza, elegance and power” (Süddeutsche Zeitung), Mexican tenor Rolando Villazón has thrilled audiences across the globe with soaring tenor arias that combine passion, lyricism and irresistible charm. Renowned for his electrifying stage presence and heartfelt artistry, Villazón is hailed by The Times as “the most charming of today’s divos”.  

Celebrated Irish mezzo-soprano Paula Murrihy, a homegrown star with a luminous international career, showcases her radiant tone and expressive vocal talent. Equally at home in moments of intimate stillness or blazing intensity, The Irish Times has praised her thrilling presence while The Guardian has lauded her “immaculate sense of line… and dazzling colouratura technique”.  

Rolando Villazón and Paula Murrihy will be joined on stage by soprano Ava Dodd. The Gala concert is conducted by Ryan McAdams, who "combines energetic precision and animation to draw lively, fresh playing “ (The Irish Times), and features the Irish National Opera Orchestra.
