This newly enhanced edition now features four soloists, with the addition of a baritone alongside soprano, mezzo-soprano and tenor. This expanded line-up brings some of opera’s greatest showstoppers, including the irresistible ‘Largo al factotum’ from T he Barber of Seville, the triumphant ‘Toreador Song’ from  Carmen , as well as celebrated ensemble highlights – from Mozart’s serene trio ‘Soave sia il vento’ from  Così fan tutte  to Verdi’s dramatic quartet ‘Bella figlia dell’amore’ from  Rigoletto . At the heart of the concert, audiences will still find the favourite moments they know and love, with a sparkling mix of duets and trios from operatic classics including  The Magic Flute, La traviata, Madama Butterfly, Tosca  and  Turandot .  The programme features some of opera’s most treasured solo arias – from the infectious brilliance of Verdi’s ‘La donna è mobile’, to the tender beauty of ‘O mio babbino caro’ and the soaring, triumphant finale ‘Nessun dorma’. Whether you are discovering opera for the first time or returning for another unforgettable evening, this newly reimagined 2026 programme promises passion, drama, laughter, and music that lingers long after the final note.
