RNLI concert in the National Opera House to mark 200 years of County Wexford lifeboats

RNLI 200 promises to be an unforgettable journey through history, showcasing the courage and dedication of RNLI volunteers. The one-night-only production will feature a diverse range of performances, including song, dance, spoken word, and video presentations. Audiences will be treated to stories ranging from the foundation of the RNLI to epic rescues carried out by RNLI crews along the South East of Ireland.

Local talents such as George Lawlor, Tony Carthy, Chris Currid, The Craic Pots, Wexford School of Ballet and Performing Arts, and Dara Pierce Ballet Academy will grace the stage alongside nationally recognised artists like Uilleann pipe player Mark Redmond and Tenor Glenn Murphy.

Under the baton of composer Liam Bates, the evening promises to be a symphony of emotion and celebration. Adding to the star-studded line-up, Celtic Thunder star Ryan Kelly and Celtic Woman star Chloe Agnew, and fresh from their sell out performance at the National Concert Hall, The Sea of Change Choir, will make a special guest appearance, with more surprise guests to be announced in the coming weeks.

Produced by Wexford-based Seanchai Productions Ltd, known for their successful events such as Wexford Virtual St. Patrick's Day and The Green Light Sessions in 2021, RNLI 200 is set to captivate audiences with its blend of entertainment and heartfelt tribute.

Proceeds from the event will go to support the RNLI, an organisation dedicated to saving lives at sea. Tickets for RNLI 200 are priced at €30 each and are available for purchase from www.nationaloperahouse.ie.

RNLI 200 would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors: PTSB, the EPA, Kent Stainless and The Talbot Collection.
