Spend an indulgent evening at The Hexagon, basking in the soaring melodies and musical drama of the Opera. Immerse yourself in a majestic array of operatic classics, including music by Puccini, Verdi and Gershwin, all performed by renowned soprano Francesca Chiejina. Hailed as “exceptional", Chiejina’s voice has been described as “glinting with beauty” and a “warm, sumptuous tone with plenty of power”. Combined with the expert sounds of the full Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) and delivered masterfully by conductor Alpesh Chauhan, it will truly be a performance to remember.
‘Francesca Chiejina’s Mimì was the vocal highlight of the evening and a superlative performance in its own right… unerringly precise in intonation and showcasing a remarkable range of colours across the voice… She will surely go from strength to strength.’ - Opera Wire on La Bohème, 2022
