Cocktails & Cabaret

Enjoy a glittering line-up of top Northern Ireland vocalists in a glamorous showcase featuring classics from musical theatre, jazz and pop, and some well-loved favourites, all accompanied live on piano by the brilliant Stuart Pedlar.

Relax in a sumptuous lounge setting where palate-tingling cocktails are theatrically conjured up and paired with a superb cold summer buffet.

Starring in this dazzling night to remember is Jolene O’Hara, Colette Lennon, Mark Dugdale, Alice Johnston, Philippa O’Hara, Chris Kane, Orla Mullan and Rosie Barry.

They will perform a vibrant mix of songs by legendary artists including Joni Mitchell, Dolly Parton, Randy Crawford, Dusty Springfield, Bette Midler and Barbra Streisand. The entertainment for the evening also features much-loved hits from some of the greatest musicals of all time such as Cabaret, Chicago, Grease, Follies, The Notebook and Little Shop of Horrors.

In a truly special act, three of our solo stars, Orla Mullan, Colette Lennon and Rosie Barry, come together as The Swing Time Starlets. This dynamic close harmony trio will entertain with their vintage flair and stunning vocals.

You will receive a welcoming glass of Jawbox Gin’s Signature Serve on arrival, along with two specially created Jawbox cocktails during the evening. Additional drinks, including wines from the Grand Opera House’s extensive wine list, will be available at the bar.
