Haydn, Wagner and Beethoven in Ely Cathedral
Ely Sinfonia marks the return from lockdown with a chamber concert of glorious classics by Wagner, Haydn and Beethoven.
The concert starts with the highly evocative Siegfried Idyll. Ever the true romantic, Wagner composed this as a birthday gift to Cosima, his wife, following the birth of their son Siegfried. It borrows the principal love theme and forest bird melody from his opera Siegfried. Its delicious strains were first performed outside Cosima’s bedroom as she woke on her birthday, Dec
Starts at 7.30pm.
Tickets £20 in aid of Ely Cathedral Music Fund.
