Operatunity presents Luck of the Irish in Whanganui

Operatuntiy's Bonaventure Allan-Moetaua and Karl Perigo, Bryony Williams and Jess Hindin.

Operatunity brings its celebration of all things Irish to Whanganui on Thursday.

Performers will include Susan Boland, John Cameron, Bonaventure Allan-Moetaua, Karl Perigo, Bryony Williams, and violinist Jessica Hindin.

With Irish dancing, famous haunting ballads, funny ditties and limericks, singalongs, Irish jokes and breakneck fiddling, the Luck of the Irish promises to be a show to please anyone who has Irish in their blood or a little bit of Irish in their hearts.

To add to the joy of the performance tenor Bonaventure Allan-Moetaua and violinist Jessica Hindin are engaged.

The pair met through Operatunity and toured and performed together several times before romance sparked on Operatunity's European Romance tour three years ago.

Recently, while escorting a trip to Hawaii for Operatunity Travel, Allan-Moetaua popped the question and, to the delight of their fellow travellers, the pair announced their engagement on the final night of the trip.

Hindin spent many years touring North America with an Irish fiddle band .
