In February 2018, Cork Opera House and UCC launched an innovative partnership that will see the two organisations working together to educate and inspire the next generation of arts managers, creative practitioners and professionals. Throughout this partnership, the two institutions will collaborate on every level to identify opportunities that will have a significant impact on the arts industry into the future. The partnership establishes Cork Opera House as a Learning Theatre and provides UCC with an immersive learning environment that enriches and elaborates the student experience.
