Background

Following its sell-out success in 2023, our local community will again take part in workshops throughout 2024 and, together with Wexford Factory artists, will create and present an immersive performance of music and dialogue, in a non-theatrical setting. The audience will move with the action, experiencing the opera as both audience and participant.
