An exhibition celebrating 75 years of Wexford Festival Opera has opened at the Pádraig Grant Gallery. The show is timed to the anniversary of an event that has been part of the town's cultural life since it was founded in 1951. Visitors can view work tracing the festival's journey from its modest beginnings to its place on the international opera circuit. The launch gives local audiences a chance to revisit the history of a festival that draws singers and opera lovers to Wexford each autumn. For the gallery, hosting the exhibition puts it at the centre of the town's anniversary celebrations. The display is expected to attract festival-goers and curious locals alike. Anyone with an interest in the festival's past will find plenty to look at.
