On 15 April 2021, Welsh National Opera celebrates its 75th anniversary. Forged in the communities of South Wales, WNO is firmly rooted in the many areas we serve, across Wales, England and the world. This year we reflect on our history, revisit some of our highlights and look forward to a vibrant future.
To celebrate WNO's 75th anniversary we take a walk through history as WNO Chorus re-trace WNO’s journey, culminating in a stunning performance of Easter Hymn from our first ever production, Cavalleria rusticana,
