This spectacular performance is directed by WNO Orchestra Leader and Concertmaster, David Adams, will direct the musicians and audience through a celebration that includes some of the greatest waltzes ever known.

Mr Adams will also feature as a soloist, performing popular works by Fritz Kreisley on violin.
