About the event
Our guest performer is one of the UK’s finest ever exponents of the bass voice, Sir John Tomlinson. Sir John is rightly famous for his interpretation of the great roles of Wagnerian opera, as well as a great breadth of characters across fifty years of music-making, both in performance and recordings.
