Wexford town is going to be busy tomorrow evening (Friday) as the town prepares to welcome the 74th Wexford Festival Opera with fireworks and the opening ceremony taking place on Wexford Quay at 7.15 pm.
Wexford Gardaí are advising of a temporary closure of Wexford Bridge from 7.10 pm to 7.30 pm.
Oulart and ‘across the river’ supporters heading for the minor hurling final between Oulart and Glynn-Barntown with a 7.30 pm throw-in at Chadwicks Wexford Park are asked to seek an alternative route on their way to the match.
Rosetta Cucchi, Artistic Director, will officially open the 74th Wexford Festival Opera at 7.15 pm in a ceremony traditionally adored by the general public on Wexford Quay.
A fireworks display will follow the official ceremony, and 16 days of opera will highlight events in Wexford town.
The opening production will be Le Trouvère by Verdi and at the National Opera House, High Street, at 8 pm.
Several exhibitions and associated fringe events will take place across the town during the festival.
