RT Concert Orchestra Signature Series: Bryn Terfel
Friday 31 July, 8pm
National Concert Hall
Gareth Jones conductor
A born communicator who loves words as much as music, he has reached out to audiences way beyond the rarefied temples of opera house and recital hall . . .' The Times (London)
gigantic in stature and personality, with a booming voice that is effortlessly flexible and expressive even when speaking, never mind singing.' The Independent (UK)
Following his rapturously received sold-out concert in 2013, the sensational bass-baritone Bryn Terfel performs one powerful performance with the RT Concert Orchestra as part of the Signature Series 2015.
One of the most sought after international voices, Terfel has won two Grammy Awards, four Classical Brit Awards and Her Majesty the Queen s medal for Music.
With a masterfully rich, resonant voice and an ability to bring abundant personal charisma and enthusiasm to his performances (in roles as varied as Figaro and Wotan), he has left a trail of standing ovations from the Metropolitan Opera to Sydney Opera House.
Don t miss this operatic king accompanied by the RT Concert Orchestra.
