Each week we share a list of concerts our writers will be covering and ask you to do the same, so we can share recommendations and reviews. SCOHelen shared this with us in last week's thread:
Your reviewers have missed a treat - Birmingham Symphony Hall last night was the place to be! The concert performance of the Royal Opera House's production of Die Meistersinger von Nurnburg was absolutely wonderful. Although Bryn Terfel was ill and could not take the role of Hans Sachs, he was admirably replaced by Wolfgang Koch, who played the role at the ROH... The acoustics of Symphony Hall made the effect of the orchestral highlights and, particularly, of the chorus 'Wach Auf' in the final act absolutely overwhelming. And - a delight for a Guardian reader - Hans Sachs was reading yesterday's copy of The Guardian onstage in Act 3!
