Petroc Trelawny presents the 40th anniversary gala concert from ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Cardiff Singer of the World - starring recent finalists and champions with the Welsh National Opera Orchestra.

A World Gala concert from ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Cardiff Singer of the World.

Former ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Cardiff Singer finalists and champions including Louise Alder, Claire Barnett-Jones, Luis Gomes and Roland Wood present a feast of operatic hits including beautiful solos such as La donna è mobile from Rigoletto, Seguidilla from Carmen, heart-warming duets such as La ci darem la mano from Don Giovanni, the stunning trio Soave sia Il vento from Così fan tutte and all the singers combine forces in Bella figlia del’amore - also from Rigoletto. They are accompanied by Cardiff’s very own Welsh National Opera Orchestra and one of the world’s finest operatic conductors, Pietro Rizzo.
