Something for all at opera festival

THE people of Waterford will be singing in the rain, in their seats and on the streets over the coming fortnight as the 47th Waterford International Festival of Light Opera beckons.

The festival runs for two weeks from next Monday and featured on the programme are 12 competitive performances as well as a Final Night Concert.

Highlights will include Waterford’s own Flaggy Lane Productions Singin’ In The Rain which will run for two nights, a new show by Peter Kennedy - a musical comedy entitled How The West Wasn’t Won - and Fusion Theatre’s production of Les Miserables (Schools edition).
