Opening Gala with Bryn Terfel
The Antwerp Symphony Orchestra will be joined by Sir Bryn Terfel for its festive season opening gala concert. The Welshman, who has been honoured with several awards over the years for his stage presence and vocal charm, is one of the most in-demand voices in the world. He has triumphed on stages from Vienna to New York giving thunderous Wagner interpretations and has delighted audiences far and wide in the title roles of Mozart’s operas. One thing is certain: when Sir Bryn takes to the stage, you can expect nothing short of an epic concert experience. The Antwerp Symphony Orchestra is ready to roll out the red carpet for the new concert season and this eagerly- anticipated concert.
