Cork Opera House

Das Cork Opera House ist ein Veranstaltungsgebäude am Emmet Place mit ca. 1000 Plätzen in der irischen Stadt Cork, Provinz Munster. Die Vorgängergebäude wurden als Athenaeum (1855–1875), The Munster Hall (1875–1877) und dann als Cork Opera House bezeichnet. Das heutige Gebäude wurde 1963 vom Architekten Scott Tallon Walker entworfen. Die Fassade wurde vom Büro Murray Ó Laoire Architects 2000 umgestaltet. Das ursprüngliche Gebäude Emmet Place, der damals noch Nelson's Place hieß, öffnete 1855 neben der Crawford Art Gallery und brannte im Jahre 1955 ab. Der Ersatzbau eröffnete dann der damalige Präsident von Irland, Éamon de Valera, 1965. Geschichte Das Operngebäude „Athenaeum“ (1855–1955) Das Athenaeum wurde ursprünglich in den 1850er Jahren vom Architekten John Benson entworfen. Es sollte ein Veranstaltungsort zur Förderung von Wissenschaft, Literatur und der Schönen Künste, der durch die Architektur atmet. Dabei nutzte Benson als Vorlage die Ausstellungsgebäude der Irish Industrial Exhibition. Das „Athenaeum“ wurde 1875 bis 1877 als „The Munster Hall“ und ab 1877 einfach als „Opera House“ benannt, nachdem es 1877 renoviert wurde. 1908 wurde das Operngebäude nach den Plänen von Arthur Hill umgestaltet. Das Opernhaus überstand das Burning of Cork durch die Britische Armee 1920. Doch am Abend des 12. Dezember 1955 brannte es nach einem technischen Versagen der Elektrik und begünstigt durch die hölzernen Materialien nieder. Wiederaufbau und Gegenwart (1963–heute) Nach dem Brand blieb die Ruine zunächst. Erst Anfang 1963 wurde der alte Gebäuderest abgebrochen, das Grundstück planiert und neu entwickelt. Die Eröffnung fand 1965 statt. 2000 erfolgte eine erneute umfangreiche Neugestaltung, insbesondere der Fassade und des Emmet Place. Ein Café wurde eingerichtet und Sitzplätze und Raumakustik modernisiert. Veranstaltungen Das Opernhaus bot stets über klassische Opern hinaus ein kulturelles Angebot mit Tanz, Musik, Theater und Unterhaltungsabenden. 2015 fanden im Spielplan des Opernhauses 108 Veranstaltungen mit 276 Aufführungen im Großen Auditorium statt. Das im rückwärtigen Bereich des Operngebäudes gelegene Halbmondtheater (The Half Moon Theatre), eine kleinere Bühne mit 100 Sitzplätzen konnte 2015 77 Aufführungen von 29 Veranstaltungen vermelden.

Cork Opera House

Cork Opera House is a theatre and opera house in Cork in Ireland. The first venue opened in 1855 on Emmet Place (then known as Nelson's Place) to the rear of the Crawford Art Gallery. This original building was destroyed by fire in 1955, and a replacement opened in 1965. With a number of additions in the early 21st century, the 1000-seat venue hosted over 100 theatre, music, opera, and comedy events in 2015. History Original building (1855–1955) Cork's opera house was originally built in the 1850s to designs by architect John Benson. Intended for the "promotion of science, literature and the fine arts, and the diffusion of architectural knowledge", the building was based on a template that the architect had used for the exhibition buildings at the Irish Industrial Exhibition. Opened in 1855, this building was originally called "The Athenaeum", and was renamed "The Munster Hall" in 1875. It was renamed as the "Opera House", after extensive reconstruction, in 1877. The opera house was renovated to plans by Arthur Hill in 1908. While this building survived the Burning of Cork by British forces in 1920, it burned down several decades later in its centenary year of 1955. The fire started on the evening of 12 December 1955, caused by an electrical fault and fueled by wooden materials. Redevelopment (1963–present) The site remained undeveloped for several years, until the remains of the old building were bulldozed in early 1963 and development on a new theatre commenced. The newly constructed Opera House opened on the same site in 1965. This 1960s building was designed by Scott Tallon Walker, and was officially opened by then President of Ireland, Éamon de Valera, in October 1965. In 2000, large-scale renovation works were completed on both the facade of the building and the surrounding Emmett Place. Subsequent works include the development of a new café, updated acoustics and seating. Operation The Opera House has always hosted performances other than opera, with theatre, music, drama, dance, comedy and other performance types making-up the venue's repertoire. In 2015, the Opera House hosted 276 performances of 108 events in the main 1000-seat auditorium. The Half Moon Theatre, a smaller 100-seat venue which lies to the rear of the Opera House, hosted 77 performances of 29 events in the same period. References External links Official website
Cork Opera House

La Cork Opera House​ (en inglés: Cork Opera House) es un teatro y ópera en Cork, en la República de Irlanda. Fue construido originalmente en 1855, y fue modelado sobre la base de una plantilla que el arquitecto había utilizado para los edificios de exhibición en la Exposición Industiral irlandesa. Sin embargo, desde entonces, su existencia ha sido discontinua, después de haber sobrevivido a la quema de gran parte de Cork por las fuerzas británicas, en represalia por una emboscada de un convoy militar en el año 1920 por parte de los rebeldes irlandeses, la Ópera, sin embargo, fue incendiada en el año de su centenario con una combinación de viejo cableado y materiales de madera. Aunque Cork hasta entonces se había jactado de la presencia de un teatro adecuado en alguna forma por más de 250 años, no fue hasta 1963 que la Ópera fue reconstruida totalmente y reabierta.

Corkagh Park

Corkagh Park (Irish: Páirc Chorcaí, from corcach, meaning "marsh") is a park situated in Clondalkin in South Dublin, between the N7 and the Old Nangor Road. The River Camac flows through it, and within the grounds of the park there are fishing ponds. There is a caravan park near the park's N7 entrance. The area, once Corkagh Demesne, contained two large houses, and historically also featured mills. History The park was formerly known as Corkagh Demesne, on which two large houses stood and gunpowder mills were run. When Lewis Chaigneau bought Corkagh in the 1720s, he leased a portion of the estate to Nicholas Grueber for the establishment of gunpowder mills. Grueber ran the mills from 1716 to 1733. The gunpowder mills on Corkagh Estate, active during the 18th and 19th centuries, were an important centre for the production of gunpowder and provided employment for local people. Most of the mill buildings were situated in Kilmatead which adjoins Corkagh. Explosions were common occurrences at gunpowder mills. Once such explosion, in 1787, was so big that it was felt as far away as Dublin city and caused damage to buildings around Clondalkin. The mill building itself was completely destroyed. The Arabin family ran the mills in the 1790s. Corkagh Park was purchased in 1983 by Dublin County Council and, since 1994, South Dublin County Council have managed the park. Notable residents and visitors of the Corkagh estate included Arthur Wolfe and Elizabeth Bowen. Recreation Ireland's only purpose-built cycle track is located in Corkagh Park. Criterium cycle races are sometimes held here during the summer. The park's other recreational facilities include a playground and sports pitches. These include, unusually for Ireland, a baseball field. Environment There are over 390 different species of plants and animals in Corkagh Park, with 20,000 trees planted in the early 1980s and 1990s. Tree specimens include Fraxinus (ash), Quercus (oak), Tilia (lime), Juglans (walnut), Cedrus (cedar), Fagus (beech), Aesculus (Chestnut) and Sequoiadendron. The Common frog and Pipistrelle Bat, protected species under the 1976 Wildlife Act, are both found in the park. Kestrels and other birds have nested in the park's trees. The hawfinch is an occasional winter visitor. The great spotted woodpecker, Ireland's newest breeding species, has also previously been seen here.

Corrigan Park

Corrigan Park is a Gaelic games ground on the Whiterock Road in west Belfast that served as the main venue for GAA in Belfast until the opening of Casement Park in 1953. It is named in honour of John Corrigan (1881–1916), who was secretary of the Antrim County Board when Antrim won Ulster Senior Hurling Championship titles between 1909 and 1913. It is home to St John's GAA club and also hosts Ulster club and colleges matches. History Development The ground was officially opened in 1926. In the late 1920s, additional improvements were built at the ground, including a new stand, player facilities and an entrance from Whiterock Road. While, following the opening of Casement Park in 1953, it was suggested that the county board might sell Corrigan Park, control of the ground was transferred to St John's GAA club. The club undertook a number of developments at the ground in the 1950s and 1970s. In 2021, following extensive renovations which included the construction of a 600-seat stand and terracing, the capacity of the park increased from 2,100 to 3,700. Hurling Corrigan Park was associated with the run of the Antrim hurling team to the final of the 1943 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. The ground staged the quarter-final in which Antrim beat Galway and the semi-final in which Antrim beat Kilkenny, both unexpected results at the time. Its tight, confined space was regarded as being advantageous to the home side in those matches. Football Among the major football championship matches it staged were the Cavan-Antrim Ulster championship semi-finals of 1930, 1931 and 1949. Its last major provincial football championship match was Antrim v Donegal in the Ulster championship of 1952. Corrigan Park also hosted Antrim's Round 2 Qualifier defeat to Kildare in the 2019 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Camogie Corrigan Park staged the All Ireland Camogie finals of 1944, 1946, and 1947, two of which were won by Antrim, and also several of Antrim's semi-finals. It became known as the "home of camogie" during this period. References External links History of Corrigan Park on St John's GAA club website

Courcey Rovers GAA

Courcey Rovers GAA Club is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in the barony of Courceys, County Cork, Ireland. The club is affiliated to the Carrigdhoun Board and fields teams in hurling, Gaelic football and camogie. History Located in the barony of Courceys, about 8km from Kinsale, Courcey Rovers GAA Club was established in January 1947. The club draws its players from the villages of Ballinspittle and Ballinadee, whose existing clubs amalgamated to form the new one. Courcey Rovers has spent the majority of its existence operating in the junior grade. Initially affiliated to the Carbery Board, the club won a record-setting 16 South West JAHC titles between 1947 and 1974. In spite of these divisional successes, a Cork JAHC remained elusive. In 1975, club members voted to move to the Carrigdhoun Division. Life in the new division resulted in Courcey Rovers winning several South East U21HHC titles. The club claimed the first of six South East JAHC titles in 1993, before winning the Cork JAHC title in 2001, after a 3–09 to 3-07 win over Charleville in the final.

Courtyard Shopping Centre

The Courtyard Shopping Centre is a retail complex in central Letterkenny, County Donegal, Ireland. Location The centre is in central Letterkenny, close to the Library and Arts Centre, on the Lower Main Street side and the Bank of Ireland on the Upper Main Street side; it also overlooks Pearse Road and Oliver Plunkett Street. The structure is built spirally on a slope so, if approached from the Main Street entrance, the visitor, when making their way through the complex, descends into the ground via a series of escalators. History Paul Reynolds of Reynolds and Company developed the Courtyard Shopping Centre. Reynolds died after a prolonged illness in December 2020. The centre opened on 21 October 1993, with actors Mick Lally and Joe Lynch (known for their roles in Glenroe) performing the official opening ceremony. Coronation Street stars Kevin Kennedy and Ken Morley also appeared at the centre. These 'celebrity visits' are commemorated in the centre by tiles which feature a golden sketch of the person's outline. Other such tiles depict people like Packie Bonner and Daniel O'Donnell. Within less than two years of its opening it had been awarded several prizes for its design and for its content. The owners applied for planning permission to build another floor of retail space in mid-2007. The application was approved and resulted in an extra 980 square metres of retail area. The centre went through further changes in 2008, with Sports Direct expanding over three floors, occupying the former location of Costcutter. Another floor was constructed to house a Brand Max outlet. Shops and facilities The centre has its own multi-storey car park and, as of May 2019, had 28 stores. Sports Direct and Brand Max (formerly Heatons) is present, along with a bookshop and a chipper/takeaway. The centre was impacted by the recession and economic problems in Ireland in the late 2000s. Many stores closed, some businesses failed, and some other stores moved to the Letterkenny Shopping Centre in Port Road of the town.

Church of St. John, Cratloe

The Church of St. John, is the Roman Catholic parish church of Cratloe, in County Clare, Ireland. It was originally built in 1791 by Fr. James Ward, the parish priest at that time. Two transepts having been added to the original chancel and nave in 1806, by Fr. Jeremiah Cronin. The doorway to the right transept is a medieval doorway, believed to have come from one of the earlier churches of Kilfintenan or Craughaun in the parish. It is one of only three remaining 'barn' churches in Ireland built during penal times, a time when Roman Catholics were not allowed practice their religion. In 1828 Daniel O'Connell, an MP for County Clare who would later go on to be known as The Liberator, made a speech outside the church about the Catholic Emancipation Act, arguing that Catholic Members of Parliament should be allowed take their seat once elected, which was forbidden at that time. The quaint country church is popular for weddings, and a number of celebrity weddings have been held here, including that of Sharon Corr, of the musical group The Corrs. Cratloe Grotto A short distance away is Cratloe Grotto, which is maintained by the parish. Work on the Cratloe Grotto began in 1928 and was opened in 1932 after the initiative of Fr. John Wallace, P.P. The 100 foot climb up to the Grotto itself includes the Stations of the Cross on either side of the path. The grotto was designed as a replica of the grotto at Lourdes. On the hill above the grotto is a statue of the scene of the Crucifixion of Christ. The grotto also contains a number of religious statues. The work on constructing the grotto was carried out voluntarily by the people of the parish. References
