Freya Ridings at Cork Opera House

What to Expect

Freya Ridings, the English singer-songwriter known for her piano-driven ballads and the breakthrough single Lost Without You, plays Cork Opera House on Tuesday 8 September. Her sets typically centre on voice and piano with a full band arrangement building around the bigger songs, and the material draws heavily on themes of heartbreak, resilience and reflection that have made her records connect with a broad audience since her chart breakthrough. Cork Opera House gives the performance a proper concert setting rather than a smaller club show, with tiered seating and a purpose-built sound system suited to a vocal-led performance like this. It’s a seated show, and the venue’s central Cork location on Emmet Place means it’s an easy one to build an evening around, whether that’s dinner beforehand in the city centre or a drink after in one of the nearby bars.
