Alexander Soddy steps in to make his Philharmonia debut

ALEXANDER SODDY will step in at short notice to conduct the Philharmonia Orchestra. Soddy has conducted at opera houses around Europe, at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, and in Tokyo. He made his Royal Opera House debut in 2022 in acclaimed productions of Salome and Tannhäuser.

Welsh opera legend Sir Bryn Terfel is one of today’s great Wagnerians. He joins to sing extracts from two of Wagner’s great bass-baritone roles – Hans Sachs in Die Meistersinger and Wotan in the Ring Cycle. And our players get their share of the limelight in orchestral excerpts too.

Wagner’s music is paired with Bruckner’s magnificent and multi-faceted Symphony No. 6. (Source: Philharmonia)
