In November we will perform Act 3 from Wagner’s opera Parsifal in concert. We are delighted to welcome back three extraordinary artists: Sir John Tomlinson, Peter Wedd and Paul Carey Jones. This is a chance to hear Wagnerian singing of the most extraordinary power and expression in the intimacy of our small venues. Parsifal, Wagner’s final opera, contains some of his most hauntingly beautiful music and this is sure to be an unforgettable occasion. The first performance will be conducted by Mahler Players Music Director Tomas Leakey and the second by noted Wagnerian Anthony Negus, Music Director of Longborough Festival Opera.
