One of the world’s finest opera singers performs the songs and music he loves best.
Accompanied by friends and special guests, Sir Bryn Terfel makes a spectacular return to the Royal Albert Hall following his memorable 50th birthday celebration in 2015.
This concert will feature the full range of Bryn’s repertoire, including selections from Wagner’s Das Rheingold, Beethoven’s Fidelio and Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore, alongside favourites from iconic musicals like Fiddler on the Roof and Man of La Mancha, and tributes to his Welsh homeland.
He will be joined on stage by some very special guests, including mezzo-soprano Angharad Lyddon, violinist Jennifer Pike, and YouTube sensations Welsh of the West End, and accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted by Paul Bateman.
Born in North Wales and having studied at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the award-winning singer frequents the major stages of the world. His recordings have earned him two Grammy Awards and four Classical Brit Awards, and he is also the recipient of The Queen’s Medal for Music (2006), a CBE (2003), the Shakespeare Prize by the Alfred Toepfer Foundation (2006) and the Freedom of the City of London (2015). Earlier this year, he was honoured with the title of Austrian Kammersänger by the Vienna State Opera.
This concert is one of the headline events of Love Classical, at the Royal Albert Hall.
