A Country Night in Nashville at the National Opera House Wexford

What to Expect

A Country Night in Nashville arrives at the National Opera House on Saturday 7 November at 7:30 PM, direct from a run at the Royal Albert Hall. The show recreates the scene of a buzzing honky tonk in downtown Nashville, aiming to capture the energy and atmosphere of an evening in the home of country music. It is a live band show rather than a screening or a single-artist tribute.

Dominic Halpin and the Hurricanes perform the set, working through country hits that span several generations. The billed songbook includes material associated with Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson among others, so the arc runs from classic outlaw and honky tonk numbers into more recent country radio staples. The National Opera House puts the show in its main auditorium, which means proper seating and sightlines rather than a standing room gig.
