Il Coro Italiano di Dublino
Arias from Rome to Rathmines
Our History
Il Coro Italiano di Dublino was founded in 1986 by Dr Rosa Maria Chicco-Ferraro, Deputy Head of Mission at the Italian Embassy. Initially, the choir was for the most part drawn from the adult students of Italian Institute in Dublin.
Il Coro performs mainly in Dublin at venues that have included St Ann’s Church, Dawson Street, The Italian Institute, the Farmleigh Christmas Festival, the Defence Forces Carol Service in Arbour Hill Church in 2015, 2018 and 2023 and the Áras an Uachtaráin Summer Party in June 2023. Links with the Italian community have been maintained through performances at Club Italiano and at Lucan House on Italian National Day.
