submitted by southbanksinf on 02/14/14 1

Join Stephen Fry as he chairs a unique debate to celebrate the bicentenaries of two operatic greats. Find out whether the southern allure of Verdi or the Teutonic genius of Wagner triumph with speakers Norman Lebrecht and Philip Hensher. To illustrate their arguments, the Southbank Sinfonia and conductor Paul Wynne Griffiths perform extracts with singers Dušica Biljelić and John Tomlinson. This debate formed part of the Deloitte Ignite Festival 2013. Entitled Verdi/Wagner and curated by Stephen Fry, the festival celebrates the joint bicentenary of Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner. www.roh.org.uk/deloitteignite
