The 74th Wexford Opera Festival opens with the French revision of Il trovatore that Verdi reforged for the Paris Opera. 

Artistic Director Rosetta Cucchi makes a compelling case for Marco Tutino's impassioned opera on the horrors of war from a woman's perspective. 

Wexford Festival thrives on resurrecting long-forgotten operas, so is the perfect place for Halévy's take on Shakespeare, neglected for 170 years.
