The Hallé – Wild Swans at The Bridgewater Hall

The Hallé Children’s Choir take centre stage at The Bridgewater Hall in Lin Marsh’s magical, musical retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, The Wild Swans, which also features students from Manchester Metropolitan University School of Theatre. In the first half of the concert, let yourself be transported through time to the land of the Vikings and a 1950s English garden and then on to the fantasy worlds of Narnia, Hogwarts and Oz.
