Got Rugby World Cup fever?

Following Wales’ first match of the tournament against Uruguay, and anticipation of great things to come, relive an epic day: a day that confounded the expectations of even the most optimistic Welsh rugby fan. Saturday, March 17 2013, when England turned up to the Millennium Stadium looking to complete the Grand Slam. What they got was Wales 30 England 3. This score, against the odds, saw Wales win the Six Nations Championship.

Through the power of such mighty classics as Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner and Dance of The Knights from Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev, Eddie Butler will narrate the story of the day capturing the excitement and exhilaration of that fateful match. In a unique collaboration, this musical score will accompany the images of the match on Â鶹Éç television and radio commentary from Gareth Charles.

Tickets for this event are free (Limited to 4 per household) and can be reserved by calling 03700 101051(standard geographic charges for mobiles and landlines will apply).

The performance will be recorded and filmed for future broadcast on Â鶹Éç Radio Wales and the Â鶹Éç Wales and Â鶹Éç National Orchestra of Wales website.
