Step behind the curtain and begin your Festival day with a little insider magic.

Join us for a guided morning tour of Ireland’s renowned National Opera House, where you will explore the spaces audiences rarely see. An architectural landmark in the heart of Wexford, you'll walk the backstage corridors, stand on the stage, and discover how this remarkable house prepares each day to bring opera to life.

After your behind-the-scenes experience, you'll make your way to the top floor to La Vista Café and Restaurant to enjoy breakfast with sweeping views across Wexford. Freshly brewed coffee, delicious quiche and relaxed conversation provide the perfect setting to reflect on the Festival’s rich history and the performances yet to come.
