A New Year’s Celebration
Welsh National Opera Orchestra, Swansea
CELEBRATING the new year with the mighty orchestra from the Welsh National Opera is a glorious start to 2025.
The orchestra are busy at the moment as they recreate a Viennese new year traditional concert series and prepare for the spring opera season. The company play without a conductor and each piece is introduced by orchestra leader and first violin David Adams. The WNO are the only opera company in Wales and enjoy a world-class reputation.
As the WNO orchestra are hoping to make these Viennese concert series an annual event, the concert programme is heavy on waltzes and polkas and the audience loves every second. Of course, there is opera and WNO associates soprano Erin Rossington and Bass William Stevens provide the vocal gymnastics.
