Antigen testing may be used to test 500 concert goers upon entering pilot event

“It has been nearly 15 months since we have been able to bring audiences back to the National Concert Hall and to be able to have this opportunity to lead the reopening of the cultural sector in this way… is a real privilege,” he added.

The theatre has already been availing of antigen testing for use on musicians, artists and crew involved in no-audience that have been live-streamed in recent months, he said. It is yet to be decided whether the audience at the Iveagh Gardens will be retested five days after the event. Mr Read said tickets will go on sale via the National Concert Hall’s website at 10 am on Thursday. The event may also be available to stream online, either live or after the event.

The concert is the first in a series of test live entertainment events organised by the Department of Arts, Tourism, Culture and Heritage that are due to take place over a three-week period from June 10th. An indoor opera will be held on June 23rd at University Limerick Concert Hall, with up to 519 audience members, while an outdoor music festival is due to be performed for up to 3,500 spectators at the Phoenix Park in Dublin on June 26th.
