Hide AdThe event is sponsored by Ford & Etal Estates which is offering earlybird tickets at a special price until April 30.
Shannon Denson, visitor services manager at Ford & Etal Estates, said: “We feel incredibly privileged that Opera Brava have agreed to perform here, a long way from their base in the south of England.
"They are a world-class international company and we have been blown away by the quality of their performances.
"Opera Brava tell us that Ford Castle has the best acoustics they have experienced in 30 years, so this is a rare treat not to be missed. We have worked hard to keep ticket prices as low as possible and the earlybird offer allows people to see the opera at last year’s prices.”
