There has been serious excitement in Waterford as the well-known Irish tenor, Michael Londra, filmed the second series of his USA TV show, Ireland with Michael, at various venues and locations around the county last week.
Ireland with Michael - which is set to air on PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) in the USA in 2022 - will showcase a variety of Waterford’s fantastic tourism offerings to its audience.
Some of the attractions that Michael and his film crew filmed during their time in Waterford included Waterford Treasures - in which Michael had the opportunity to interview Eamonn McEneaney - Mount Congreve Gardens and the House of Waterford Crystal.
They also enjoyed an overnight stay at Dooley’s Hotel in Waterford city centre.
David McCoy, Chairman of Visit Waterford and Sales & Marketing Director, House of Waterford Crystal says:
“We were delighted to have Michael Londra and his film crew visit Waterford. It is our intention to rebuild out international tourism business in 2022. The publicity value of a programme like ‘Ireland with Michael’ is invaluable - with his American fanbase and audience having the unique opportunity to see what Waterford has to offer as a great holiday destination here in Ireland’s Ancient East. There really is something for everyone in Waterford from our tranquil coastlines and picturesque mountains to the vibrancy of Waterford city - so when the time is right, we look forward to welcoming overseas visitors back to Waterford once more.”
