Opera Anywhere

Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house not a creature was stirring, except for me moving invisibly amid the decorations with plenty of festive Essential Classics @BBCRadio3. Our man at the scene makes his Christmas address to the EC Collective.

All ready for ‘The Magic Fountain’ (Delius) @wexfordopera

A fantastic performance of Zemlinsky’s ‘The Dwarf’ @wexfordopera amazing singing & stamina from this cast!

Taking us ‘away with the fairies’, this wonderful, wild & wacky #MidSummerNightsDream @wexfordopera

Great reduced version of Carmen @wexfordopera mezzo performing the role was exceptional!

Quite a remarkable production! @wexfordopera

Spending a glorious week here @wexfordopera soaking up the atmosphere, enjoying the uniqueness of the Irish culture and the extraordinary breadth and depth of the performances, not just in the opera house but throughout this amazing town..

Music in education - we do it, somehow, on a shoestring, yes the sector needs significant funding . 3 performances leading up to Christmas has considerable contributions from young school age musicians . operaanywhere.com/tour-dates but we are taking extraordinary financial risks .
