Orchestral Symphony Concert
Welsh National Opera presents this Welsh-language family concert as an introduction to live orchestral music. Hosted by Elin Llwyd and performed by the WNO Orchestra with a group of unnamed soloists, the concert combines familiar orchestral repertoire with narrative and visual elements. Offenbach's Can-Can provides an accessible point of connection, Beethoven's music from Prometheus is presented as bold and cinematic, and Ballo de Orsi adds a playful, character-based element. The event is designed as a relaxed concert experience rather than a staged opera, using live music, storytelling associations and imagined scenes or movement to help younger listeners follow the programme. It lasts approximately one hour with no interval.
