BBC Coronation Concert: Welsh singer among the first stars announced in line-up

BBC has announced the first major names in the line-up for The Coronation Concert. The special event, celebrating the Coronation of Their Majesties, will take place one day after the ceremony on Sunday, May 7.

Among those gracing the stage is Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel. The star, who is a Grammy, Classical BRIT and Gramophone Award winner, will perform a duet with Maestro Andrea Bocelli at the concert.

Sir Bryn said: "Having sung at numerous events that were connected to the patronages King Charles held as the Prince of Wales, it is an incredible honour to be singing now at the Coronation of His Majesty The King, Charles III. I am also delighted to be performing at the celebratory concert in Windsor, another opportunity for me to sing with my great friend and colleague, the wonderful Italian tenor, Maestro Andrea Bocelli."
