Jessye Norman gets a room
mainThe Wigmore Hall is to rename its green room.
‘Dich, teure Halle, gruss’ ich!’ Jessye Norman quoted Wagner’s most famous aria Tannhäuser on her signed picture to Wigmore Hall: ‘You, dear hall, do I greet!’
In June, during our 120th Anniversary Celebrations, Wigmore Hall’s green room will be renamed the ‘Jessye Norman Green Room’ in memory of the legendary soprano who opened more Wigmore Hall seasons than any other artist in the history of the Hall.
Jessye Norman died last October, aged 74
