Wexford Festival Singers to celebrate 50th anniversary in the National Opera House
Chairperson Louise Gaffney Wilkinson said: 'It is such a wonderful opportunity as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary, to sing Brahms Requiem in the National Opera House.
Wexford Festival Singers will perform alongside Waterford choir, 'Notable Works' and others, bringing the total choir to over 140. The performance will be accompanied by an orchestra of forty.
The scale of the performance arise challenges for staging costs, but chairperson Louise said they are working hard to keep ticket prices accessible through fundraising, but also with the support from an anonymous sponsor.
The concert is made possible by a subsidised Community Date at the National Opera House, in the O'Reilly Theatre through the support of Wexford County Council and the National Opera House.
Wexford Festival Singers, with Notable Works and orchestra, will perform 'Brahms German Requiem' in The National Opera House on Sunday November 9 at 7.30pm.
Tickets are on sale now. Tickets range in price from €5 to €35 + facility fee, from the National Opera House box office.
