Sunday 5th October, 3.00pm
The National Concert Hall continues its Sunday Matinée Series this Autumn with a superb line-up of artists, the first of which is the acclaimed British baritone Sir Thomas Allen performing Schubert’s emotive and poignant Die Winterreise D. 911 by Schubert.
Sir Thomas Allen is an established star of the great opera houses of the world and this year he celebrated the 40th anniversary of his debut at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. He has been particularly acclaimed for his Billy Budd, Pelléas, Eugene Onegin, Ulisse and Beckmesser, as well as the great Mozart roles of Count Almaviva, Don Alfonso, Papageno, Guglielmo and, of course, Don Giovanni. Equally renowned on the concert platform, he appears in recital in the United Kingdom, throughout Europe, in Australia and America, and has appeared with the world’s great orchestras and conductors.
He is accompanied by pianist Joseph Middleton who has been described by BBC Music Magazine as ‘one of the brightest stars in the world of song and lieder’ and has been labelled ‘the cream of the new generation’ by The Times.
This recital is part of the Dublin Song Series, curated by Dearbhla and Finghin Collins in association with the National Concert Hall and Sundays at Noon Concert Series at Dublin City Gallery, Hugh Lane.
