Travelling to Belfast in the Autumn? Here are Four Unmissable Events
Autumn is an excellent time to visit Belfast as there are many cultural festivals and events around the city.
September starts out with Northern Ireland Opera performing La Toscca in the Grand Opera House. It is worth booking early for this as it sells pretty quickly. With Cameron Menzies directing, you are sure to enjoy stunning sets and costume design to feast your eyes upon. The music is stunning and NI Opera has won many internationally acclaimed awards in the past two years. Find tickets to La Toscca here.
