    Wexford does off beat operas which other places don’t do like Balfe’s Bohemian Girl . mostly obscure ones, they fly the whole lost in, orchestra and all instead of using RTE orchestra.

    • Tommy says:

      Wexford has its own orchestra and chorus so don’t know where that comment came from. The PM’s name isVaradkar.
