Wexford Festival Opera Announces New Artistic Plan for 2020
After much consideration and with a heavy heart, Wexford Festival Opera has taken the very difficult decision to reschedule the previously announced artistic programme to October 2021. This decision has been taken as a result of the ongoing worldwide uncertainty regarding the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic into the autumn, and in the best interests of your health and welfare and that of our artists, volunteers and staff.
