The often as ‘dying’ labelled classical music is healthy as never before: With what is called an ‘unprecedented demand for tickets’ for this year’s Wexford Festival Opera, the board of the Festival Trust have announced that they will expand the 2017 Festival from 12 to 18 days, running across three weekends, for the first time since 2008, with next year’s 66th Festival opening on Thursday 19 October and closing on Sunday 5 November.
