Act III with the Prelude to Act I

Legends of the Knights Templar loom large in Wagner’s last music drama. We present a fully-staged performance of the final act – which includes the famous Good Friday Music.

From the achingly beautiful Prelude to the transcendent finale, the particular acoustics of the Temple Church are sure to cast a magical spell on this sublime music (heard in a new arrangement for 35-piece orchestra).

A run of just two performances: on Thursday 3rd; and Friday 4th April.
