Wexford Festival Opera was founded by local volunteers and even today the local community are hugely involved in so many aspects of the festival. This year the community will be part of performance.

WFO believes that opera has the ability to speak to everyone and this year has developed a new concept in opera performance for Wexford - a Community Opera based on Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi.

This year we have developed a Community Opera were local people will take part in a series of skills-building workshops throughout 2023 and, together with artists of the Wexford Factory, will create and present an immersive performance experience of music in a non-theatrical space; of an expanded version of Gianni Schicchi, with dialogue. Puccini’s masterpiece score includes one of opera’s most loved arias ‘O mio babbino caro’.

The much-loved opera will be performed in The Grain Store at Stonebridge, just off Wexford’s Quay front, where the audience will ‘promenade’ and move with the action, experiencing the opera by being a part of it and perhaps recognising themselves in it.
