The Opera Centre
The Opera Centre is a Shopping Centre planned for Limerick City in Ireland. One of the entrances will face the river at Bank Place, the other entrance will be on the junction of Patrick Street and Ellen Street The developers are to name the new shopping complex The Opera Centre, in honour of Limerick's famous "rags to riches" 18th century soprano Catherine Hayes. The most striking aspect to the designs of the Opera Centre are the two modern glass fronted entrances, set to become the flagship features. Other plans include the building of a stand alone three storey cafe / bar and restaurant with landscaped plaza and decking at Bank Place. The other stand-out feature to the multi-million development is the "Sky Bridge", a glass and steel pedestrian bridge, which will link a new multi-storey car park on Denmark Street with the centre at Ellen Street.
