Sat 12 Jun 4:30pm Symphony Hall

A maiden in distress, a black-hearted count, a wicked sorceress and a mysterious knight in shining armour... no question, Wagner’s _Lohengrin_ is the ultimate Romantic opera. But it’s not just a stirring tale of chivalry and romance in medieval Europe. _Lohengrin_ is Wagner at his accessible best, filled with music of flamboyant colour and profound beauty. Just weeks before Andris Nelsons makes his hotly-awaited debut at Wagner’s own theatre in Bayreuth, Birmingham gets a one-off preview. With an all-star cast, the full CBSO and CBSC, and a conductor who loves Wagner above all other composers, this extraordinary evening will be one of the most talked-about concerts in Birmingham this year. Be sure to book early! Sung in German with English surtitles. This performance will include a 20-minute interval after Act 1 and a 90-minute dinner interval* (7.30-9pm) after Act 2. The performance finishes c10.15pm. *Dinner is not included in ticket price. Visit the "CBSO website":http://www.cbso.co.uk
