By Natalie Clarke For The Daily Mail Smitten: Hannah Stone is at the centre of a love triangle after she 'fell for' opera singer Bryn Terfel's 'charm offensive' What a delightful operatic libretto it would make: a story of star-crossed lovers, with a hint of farce. A beautiful young harpist with golden hair, who plays in royal palaces across the land, entrances two men. Both are opera singers. One is older, rich and famous, a big hulk of a man; the other is young and fresh-faced and on the cusp of greatness. They become love rivals. The beautiful harpist marries the younger man, but realises it is the hulk of a man she really loves.
