National Geographic is bringing its spectacular “Symphony for our World” production to the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick.
The show has been a sell-out success across the US in recent months – and is now making its European debut in Ireland
Proudly supported by Newstalk, the show combines the most awe-inspiring natural history footage with an original symphony performed live by an 80-piece orchestra.
Presented on two of the largest high definition (HD) screens in Europe, the show will bring audiences through 130 years of National Geographic imagery.

From ice diving foxes in Canada, to hammerhead sharks manoeuvring their way through the Indian Ocean, the footage captures a world that few will ever see in real life.
Irish biologist and Environmentalist Éanna Ní Lamhna said the show will take audiences, “from the depths of the ocean all the way to the skies above with glorious images.”
“The musical performance enhances the whole experience,” she said.
“Making footage like this is becoming more and more difficult as we humans continue to over-exploit the planet we all share.
“Enjoy watching it and appreciate the fragility of these ecosystems which are so rapidly being adversely affected by our lifestyles"
