Summary
Ryan Wigglesworth conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and three soloists in a programme of Wagner orchestral highlights and Die Walküre Act 1 at Glasgow City Halls.
Why it's fantastic
Wagner’s dramas are often marathon events, but this evening focuses on the high-stakes tension of a single, self-contained act. You will hear the famous orchestral swell of the Liebestod before witnessing an intense tale of star-crossed lovers and a sword hidden within a tree, delivered with visceral, cinematic power.
