Seventeen days of opera in Wexford, with three full productions on the main stage: Mascagni's Iris, Rossini's L'equivoco stravagante and Prokofiev's The Gambler. The festival calls this its 75th anniversary edition. Almost all of it happens in one building, the National Opera House on High Street, which makes it an unusually easy festival to plan a day around.
