Irish Folk Star Ríoghnach Connolly Brings Soulful Sounds to Dubrovnik

Looking for something different to do after a day of remote working in Dubrovnik? This Wednesday, October 28, the city’s historic Marin Držić Theatre will welcome award-winning Irish folk singer Ríoghnach Connolly for a special evening of live music.

Known for her extraordinary voice and distinctive blend of traditional Irish folk, jazz, blues and soul, Connolly promises to bring a unique musical atmosphere to Dubrovnik as part of the Izvorišta u Teatru concert series.

The acclaimed singer was named BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year in 2019, establishing her reputation as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary folk music.

She is also widely recognised as the lead vocalist of The Breath, a British-Irish musical partnership with guitarist and composer Stuart McCallum. The duo records for Real World Records, the influential label founded by Peter Gabriel, and has earned international acclaim for its atmospheric sound and emotionally powerful performances.

Discover Dubrovnik’s Cultural Side

For digital nomads and remote workers spending autumn in Dubrovnik, the concert offers another opportunity to experience the city’s cultural life beyond its famous beaches and historic landmarks.

As the summer crowds disappear, Dubrovnik’s theatres, concert halls and cultural venues come into their own, offering a varied programme of entertainment throughout the quieter months.

Ríoghnach Connolly performs at the Marin Držić Theatre on Wednesday, October 28, bringing a touch of Irish musical tradition to the heart of Dubrovnik’s Old City.
