Tragedy, love and happy endings

The Hall茅 give a seasonal concert of theatrical works, with selections from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, music by Barber inspired by Medea, and Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty.

The Hall茅 give a seasonal concert of theatrical works, with selections from Tchaikovsky's glorious and beloved Sleeping Beauty. There's also Wagner's Tristan und Isolde - the Prelude with its iconic opening "Tristan chord" and the heart-rending Liebestod - and a jazzily climactic extract from Samuel Barber's ballet Medea, in its first performance for conductor Sir Mark Elder. Presented by Tom McKinney.
