Wexford School of Ballet 60th anniversary show will be ‘a tribute' to generations of past students
To mark six decades, staff and students at WSBPA have spent the last few weeks busily preparing for a special show – Diamonds – which will take to the National Opera House Stage on Sunday, June 29.
With shows at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., Suzanne says that it will be a real celebration of how far the school has come from its humble beginnings in 1965. Indeed, Suzanne herself has put in 36 years with the school, having come on board in 1989 to help her mother to expand its reach, reputation and repertoire.
'Today, that legacy lives on in every leap, twirl and tap echoing through Studio 12 – our new purpose-built facility in Westpoint Business Park,' Suzanne says.
"To see my mother's vision flourish into what it is today—hundreds of students, a purpose-built studio, and a sold-out opera house—is incredibly moving. Diamonds is not just a show. It's a tribute to the generations of students, teachers, and families who have made our journey so meaningful.'
A limited amount of tickets for Diamonds remain on sale from the National Opera House website.
