**’Tis the season to be merry… and to indulge in a festive gala of glorious opera arias and seasonal gems with National Symphony Orchestra Ireland, conductor Francesco Cilluffo and soprano Sinéad Campbell Wallace.** [Please arrange your own ticket (ranging from €15 - €49 for the 3 pm show): welcome to add seat details to comments for others to purchase adjacent seats.](https://www.nch.ie/all-events-listing/christmas-gala-with-nsoi-and-sinead-campbell-wallace-dec25/) * About: Sinéad Campbell Wallace is one of the most exciting performers on the operatic stage today. Her fast-rising profile has seen her perform leading roles in prestigious opera houses across Europe, the United States and Tokyo, and at home with Irish National Opera and Wexford Festival Opera. She will bring her ‘heavenly voice’ (*Opera Online*) to Puccini’s aching ‘Vissi d’Arte (*Tosca*) – a role for which she has been widely praised - the innocently loving ‘Un bel dì vedremo’ (*Madama Butterfly*), Catalani’s haunting ‘Ebben? Ne andrò lontana’ (*La Wally*), and Lehár’s sparkling ‘Meine Lippen, sie küssen so heiss’ from Giuditta. With these glorious arias, festive vocal favourites including *The Wexford Carol*, *O Holy Night* and *Silent Night*, and orchestral favourites such as Tchaikovsky’s sugar-coated, snow-dusted *The Nutcracker* and Leroy Anderson’s joyful *A Christmas Festival*. Francesco Cilluffo, Principal Guest Conductor with Wexford Festival Opera since 2020, brings all his ‘instinctive feeling for Italiante lyricism’ (*New York Times*) to what promises to be a memorable partnership with National Symphony Orchestra and Sinéad Campbell Wallace in a festive, feel-good afternoon.
