There will also be a number of lunchtime recitals, gala performances, lectures, interviews, historical tours and pop-up events across the town.
The Wexford Festival Pop-Ups are a series of free multidisciplinary performance events featuring music, drama, singing and dance, performed in non-traditional settings around Wexford town. Enabling everyone to enjoy the world-class talent at the festival, the pop-up performances are staged in unlikely venues from cafes to shop windows.
The festival will come to a rousing conclusion with a final concert on 6 November performed at the piano and conducted by the acclaimed Barry Douglas and the Wexford Festival Opera Orchestra.
The key events will be staged in the award-winning National Opera House in Wexford but the exuberance of the festival spills into the streets, pubs and restaurants which will be buzzing with life.
Just two hours from Dublin, Wexford town, with its winding medieval streets, historic buildings and pretty harbour is a delightful place to visit at any time of year. But across the 17-day Wexford Festival Opera, it will become an exceptional destination bursting with magic and music and offering the warmest of welcomes to opera fans from around the world.
