‘Opera Evening’
Berlioz Royal Hunt and Storm
Mozart (arr Wendt) Marriage of Figaro (Suite) 
Leoncavallo I Pagliacci – Prologue soloist: Edward Grint
Wagner Ride of the Valkyries & Die Walküre Act 3 extracts soloists: Christine Teare and Sir Donald McIntyre
This concert depicts storms – of emotions in Leoncavallo’s tragedy; of the elements pictured by Berlioz around the troubled romance of Dido and Aeneas; of domestic intrigue and upheaval in Figaro; and of the passions of Wagner’s Gods and warrior-maidens. But it also portrays the calm of emotion spent. A spectacular conclusion to our musical season.
