BBC Proms (1947) : 64x2

A special Proms performance of the Welsh National Opera's production of Wagner's midsummer comedy Die Meistersinger. A smash hit when it opened in Cardiff in June 2010, the stellar cast perform a concert staging at the Royal Albert Hall, with Bryn Terfel as the cobbler-poet Hans Sachs and Lothar Koenigs conducting. Wagner enthusiast Stephen Fry is in the presenter's box and Charles Hazlewood is backstage with the cast.
