About the event
Experience the intensity of Wagner’s most intimate and powerful music.
This singular recital offers a rare invitation into Richard Wagner’s inner world, bringing dramatic soprano Anna-Louise Cole and acclaimed pianist Kristian Chong together for some of his most evocative music for voice and piano.
To encounter Wagner in such distilled form is exceptional, and to experience a voice of Cole’s sheer power and radiance at close range is extraordinary. This is a rare chance to experience Wagner’s most intimate and soul-stirring music at close range, performed by two outstanding artists at the height of their powers.
