Simon O'Neill as Siegmund: Proms 2013 with Berlin Staatskapelle/Barenboim
The heading says it all really, but we thought we would provide another piece of information to what must be the worst kept secret in Proms history. But, just in-case you have not been keeping track, The Berlin Staatskapelle and Barenboim will be performing a Ring Cycle at the 2013 Proms. We can now tell you that a little forest bird has flown in the window - yet again - and whispered to us that O'Neill will perform Siegmund in Walkure on 23, July 2013. Remember where you heard it first.
