One of the world’s most sought after voices, Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, will celebrate his 50th birthday with a special one-off concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
‘I’m thrilled to be celebrating my 50th birthday at the Royal Albert Hall, a venue that has held such rich memories for me throughout my career. This special concert will be a celebration of my favourite music, from Mozart to Sondheim, from Wagner to Rodgers & Hammerstein – and hopefully with a few surprises in between. Please join me and help me celebrate my birthday in style!’
