Bryn Terfel along with special guests Oksana Dyka (soprano), Elizabeth DeShong (mezzo soprano), Lawrence Brownlee (tenor), and the Orchestra and Chorus of Welsh National Opera conducted by Gareth Jones, present classic arias from Bizet, Donizetti, Rossini and Verdi.
The concert includes popular arias from operatic masterpieces such as Tosca, Pearlfishers, Barber of Sevillle, Cenerentola, Mefistofele, and Un Ballo in Maschera.
Please note the change of artist. Southbank Centre is extremely grateful to Elizabeth DeShong for performing at short notice, owing to the indisposition of Nino Surguladze due to ill health.
