Wexford Opera and PwC strike sponsor deal

At the launch of a new three-year deal between PwC and Wexford Festival Opera are the winners of the 2018 PwC/Wexford Festival Opera ‘Emerging Young Artist’ Bursary: tenor Richard Shaffrey from Dublin (far left) and soprano Maria Hughes from Gorey, Co Wexford (second from left) with PwC partner Jean Delaney, and Wexford Festival Opera CEO David McLoughlin.

The initiative serves to support and celebrate Ireland’s Emerging Young Artists from the opera world and helps to contribute towards the many costs associated with furthering their careers. The 67th Wexford Festival Opera runs through November 4.
