If music is the food of love, then we have a feast for you this Valentine’s! They call Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony the ‘Pathétique’, which means ‘full of emotion’. And that’s exactly what it is – a pulsing, big-hearted drama of a life on the edge, told in melodies that you’ll never forget. But then, everything about this concert is romantic, beginning with the soaring beauty and off-the- scale passion of Richard Wagner, sung by Korean star soprano Sunyoung Seo.
