Aircoach takes the driving seat as official partner of Grand Opera House Youth Productions
Belfast’s Grand Opera House is delighted to announce Aircoach as the new sponsor of its Summer and Autumn Youth Productions.
The two-year partnership will see Aircoach support the Theatre’s Youth Productions which are renowned for nurturing the next generation of theatrical talent in Northern Ireland.
The Grand Opera House's Summer Youth Productions have been long running traditions offering young people from all backgrounds across Northern Ireland the chance to take part in a large scale musical on the Theatre's iconic stage and for others the opportunity to develop invaluable backstage skills as part of the Youth Tech Crew.
Now in its 13th year, the Summer Youth Production continues to inspire the next generation, and this year’s production of Grease will carry on that legacy with the welcomed support of Aircoach.
With over 25 years of servicing the island of Ireland, local transport company Aircoach is committed to delivering exceptional service and connecting various communities with an impressive network with 34 daily services between Belfast and Dublin Airport and Dublin city.
Welcoming the partnership, Ian Wilson, Chief Executive of the Grand Opera House, said: “We are delighted to welcome Aircoach on board as our new sponsor of the Grand Opera House Youth Productions as their incredible support will help us to keep offering exceptional opportunities for the young stars and talent of tomorrow.
“Aircoach and the Grand Opera House share a deep commitment to connecting communities, nurturing talent and enriching cultural experiences, making this partnership a perfect fit.
“We’re particularly excited that our 2025 Summer Youth Production, and the first under Aircoach’s sponsorship, Grease, is now on sale. It promises to be an electrifyin’ show, and we can’t wait for audiences to enjoy it!”
Emily Dover, Marketing Executive at Aircoach, said: “We are so proud to be supporting the Grand Opera House and helping to make a lasting impact on future performers and production talent from various communities by fostering a deep appreciation for the arts as they journey through life.
“We are already looking forward to supporting the upcoming Summer Youth Production of the world’s most popular musical, Grease. Providing enthusiastic young people from various communities with the opportunity to develop their talents and shine on Northern Ireland’s most celebrated stage is a significant milestone for us."
The highly anticipated 2025 Summer Youth Production of Grease is a fully staged, costumed, and choreographed musical that showcases Northern Ireland’s brightest young talent, offering an unforgettable experience for both performers and audiences alike.
Further details on the Theatre’s mid-term youth project for 10 - 15-year-olds which is also proudly sponsored by Aircoach will be released in Autumn 2025.
Stay tuned, as next month Aircoach will run an exciting competition on their social media channels giving friends and followers the chance to win four tickets to a performance of Grease in July.
