 WELSH opera stars Katherine Jenkins and Bryn Terfel will headline next year's 60th Llangollen International Eisteddfod. Organisers lined up the two chart-busting Welsh singers to celebrate the festival's special anniversary. After a 10-year break, Pantglas-born bass baritone Bryn is set to take centre stage for the Tuesday July 4 opening night.
 Neath soprano Katherine closes the festivities, singing at the Sunday, July 9 gala concert. Organisers last night said they were delighted with the birthday line up. Festival spokesman Nigel Davies said: "The week will open with a gala concert by the internationally famous bass baritone Bryn Terfel who is making a much awai ted return to the International Eisteddfod after a 10-year break. "On his last visit he had the unenviable task of following the triumphant return of Luciano Pavarotti in 1995. "But even though he was very much at the beginning of his international career he sold out the 4,000-seater auditorium in a few days." |
