“Huge thanks to our hard-working local cast who make the event what it is and we’re also looking forward to welcoming our professional international soloists as well as our conductor, Piotr Oleksiak to Donegal next month.

“The show is running two nights but there’s already been huge interest and tickets are already selling fast, so we’d encourage everyone to book early. It really is going to a feast for the ears where you can reminisce about all your favourite musical hits, so don’t miss out.”
