Thomas Joseph Walsh (20 November 1911 – 8 November 1988) was an Irish doctor, writer, and founder and director of the Wexford Opera Festival.^[1]

Life

Walsh was born in Wexford, Ireland, and graduated in medicine from University College Dublin in 1944.^[1] During his years in Dublin he took singing lessons from Adelio Viani at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. In 1972, he completed a Ph.D. at Trinity College, Dublin, the thesis becoming the basis for his 1973 book on Opera in Dublin.^[2]

He became chairman and artistic director of the Wexford Festival in 1951^[3] and established its international recognition over 15 years while still working as an anaesthetist at Wexford County Hospital.^[1]^[4] Known locally as "Doctor Tom" he "inspired great affection, admiration, and, given his great learning, even a measure of awe".^[5]
