Watch a very special edition of the Lyric Concert Live from the National Concert Hall, Dublin.
The RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra celebrates its 70th birthday in style with conductor Gerhard Markson, soprano Orla Boylan and pianist Finghin Collins.

The Programme:
Wagner - Prelude & Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde
Deirdre Gribbin - The Binding Years of Piano
Prokofiev - Romeo & Juliet (excerpts)
