Castleward Opera Company makes a welcome return to Ballymoney with a magical gala evening which is sure to appeal to traditional opera goers and new fans alike.

The first half of the evening features excerpts from the classic La Traviata, Verdi's tragic tale of Violetta, the ailing courtesan ultimately redeemed by love. The programme will include all those instantly recognised favourites. In the second half of the concert, the company will preform a compilation of operatic highlights which promises "something for everyone".

Castleward Opera will also be announcing plans for their 25th anniversary celebrations in 2009.
