STATEMENT REGARDING THE ROYAL MOSCOW BALLET AT UCH
The scheduled performance of Swan Lake by the Royal Moscow Ballet at University Concert Hall Limerick on 3rd March has been cancelled.

The decision to cancel the event has been taken by University of Limerick and UCH to signal our absolute condemnation of the entirely unjust military actions of the Russian Government and to demonstrate our solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

University of Limerick and UCH appreciate that the ballet company includes artists of many different nationalities, who have a long history of touring Ireland. We regret any negative impact this cancellation will have on them and on the event promoter and our decision to cancel the Royal Moscow Ballet performance has not been taken lightly.

The company’s talented ballet dancers are in our thoughts and we hold the people of Ukraine in our hearts and minds at this dark and terrifying time.

We regret any disappointment to ticket holders, who will be contacted directly by the UCH box office as soon as possible. Full refunds will be issued.
