Composer-themed evenings were a distinctive and popular feature of Henry Wood鈥檚 early Proms seasons: if it was Monday, it was Wagner Night.
We revive this tradition with a concert whose first half explores the enchanted forest (both beguiling and darkly supernatural) 鈥� a key symbol of the German Romantic movement.
The second half presents pivotal scenes from G枚tterd盲mmerung, the climax of Wagner鈥檚 four-opera magnum opus The Ring of the Nibelung 鈥� including Siegfried鈥檚 Death and Funeral Music and the vocal tour de force of Br眉nnhilde鈥檚 Immolation Scene.
