Opera review: A visually impressive production of Edmea at Wexford

★★★☆☆
There was a sense of the solemnity of a pilgrimage rather than the giddy excitement of a gala as Wexford Festival re-opened its doors to audiences last night with a fully staged production of Edmea (1886). Born in Lucca, a contemporary of a more famous son, Puccini, Alfredo Catalani enjoyed great success in his short life.
