Schooled in opera
ONE of the great success stories in Irish arts is the Lismore Music Festival. Co-founded by two of Opera Ireland’s key personnel, Dieter Kaegi and Jennifer O’Connell, the third festival runs this weekend, despite funding cuts.
The festival fuses accessibility with high production values. Critical praise for the previous two years is matched by local appreciation for the influx of visitors who come to see imaginative events staged in a beautiful location.
