Ukrainian opera star to sing at St Patrick's Cathedral
At St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, a very special rehearsal is taking place.
The boys of the St Patrick's Cathedral Choir are singing with Ukranian soprano Olga Chubareva.
A star in her own country, Olga is known as 'Lady Opera' and was named 'People's Artist of Ukraine', but when war broke out Olga, who has a home in Bucha, had to leave and is now staying with a family in Ireland.
Her hosts here heard about a concert by the St Patrick's Cathedral Choir in Dublin planned as a fundraiser for the Irish Red Cross and contacted the cathedral to tell them that Olga would like to be involved.
