Summary
Stephen Bell conducts the Hallé and soprano Rebecca Bottone at The Bridgewater Hall in a programme of Strauss family waltzes and polkas alongside works by Suppé and Binge.
Why it's fantastic
Shake off the January chill with a morning of high-society waltzes and the galloping rhythms of the Light Cavalry Overture. You will definitely recognize the swirling Blue Danube, a melody so famous it has soundtracked everything from grand ballroom scenes to classic science-fiction cinema.
