| Birmingham Symphony Hall, Broad Street, Birmingham B1, United Kingdom Saturday 22-Jun-13 04:30pm Wagner's Ring: Siegfried Opera North’s production of Wagner’s Ring combines both visual impact and great singing and playing. In the words of The Times on Das Rheingold, ‘Farnes has done many fine things at Opera North, but his pacing of this 150-minute sweep of music, his care about balance… and the sumptuousness of the orchestral textures – all this constitutes a massive achievement.’ In the penultimate part of this great tragedy of love and power, the hero Siegfried awakens the warrior maiden Brünnhilde, lying in a deep sleep surrounded by a magic fire, and makes her his wife.

| Birmingham Symphony Hall, Broad Street, Birmingham B1, United Kingdom Thursday 27-Jun-13 07:30pm The Birmingham Beethoven Cycle: Symphonies 8 & 9 It’s been an incredible journey, and on this night Andris Nelsons, the CBSO and our world-class Chorus arrive at Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony: the summit of any Beethoven cycle - and some say, the whole of classical music. But there’s a world of experience to live through before the CBSO get to that final, transcendent Ode To Joy, and Beethoven’s explosive little Eighth Symphony launches a concert that’s sure to be one of the most talked-about events in Birmingham this year. (£10-£55) | ||
