Since their creation in 2010, NIO has brought unconventional opera productions to Northern Ireland. Their Rigoletto is bold, emotional and engaging with a stellar cast of local and international talent.

Every time Ponchielli’s La Gioconda is staged its popular fortune is renewed, but the diffidence of the musicography also remains unchanged.

Electrifying playing under the baton of Giancarlo Andretta and a strong cast of singers convince that Verdi's I due Foscari deserves more than the occasional revival.
