Terfel

Among those supporting a campaign calling for something to be done included a host of Wales' most famous artists such as Michael Sheen, Katherine Jenkins, Ruth Jones and Sir Bryn Terfel.

In May an open letter was signed by 175 artists including Sir Bryn Terfel, Katherine Jenkins, Michael Sheen and Ruth Jones calling for emergency funding for Welsh National Opera, after it received a funding cut of 35% from Arts Council England and 11.8% from Arts Council Wales.

A letter of protest signed by over 170 people, including Sir Bryn Terfel, Katherine Jenkins, Michael Sheen and Ruth Jones, has been sent to First Minister Vaughan Gething.

Additional performers include Lionel Richie, who was the first global ambassador of the Prince's Trust, a charity founded by Charles; pop star Katy Perry, was appointed as an ambassador of the British Asian Trust, another charity founded by Charles, in 2020; Italian opera star Andrea Bocelli and Welsh singer Sir Bryn Terfel, who will perform as a duo; singer-songwriter Freya Ridings, classical-soul musician Alexis Ffrench, Bette Midler and an official coronation choir, made up of choir groups from across the UK.

It will feature the first Welsh language performance at a coronation - the "Coronation Kyrie" composed by Professor Paul Mealor from St Asaph, and sung by Sir Bryn Terfel and the choir of Westminster Abbey.
