About This Event
RSNO 2026/27: On May 8, 2027, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall will host a captivating performance titled 'Sibelius One'. Under the baton of renowned conductor Edward Gardner, this concert promises to deliver an engaging and emotionally rich experience. The programme includes Berlioz's dramatic "La mort de Cléopâtre", which evokes the grandeur and tragedy of Cleopatra’s final moments. Also featured is Sibelius's iconic Symphony No. 1, known for its profound emotional depth and powerful musical narrative. Mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor will collaborate with Big Noise Govanhill, adding another layer of complexity and artistry to the performance. This event is set to transport audiences through a journey of drama, allure, and deep-seated emotion, making it an unmissable cultural highlight in Glasgow's calendar for 2027.

Salomé, the ultimate temptress. Ophelia, Shakespeare’s gentle, lovelorn heroine.
