Celebrating 25 Years of a Remarkable Career: An Evening with Russell Watson
11 April 2026 | Derby Cathedral
Join us in the magnificent setting of Derby Cathedral on Saturday 11 April 2026 for an extraordinary evening celebrating 25 years of Russell Watson’s outstanding career at the pinnacle of classical music.
This special anniversary concert will showcase a breath-taking selection of classical favourites and timeless arias, performed by candlelight and accompanied by a full choir, creating an intimate and unforgettable musical experience.
From modest beginnings to global acclaim, Russell Watson has sold over seven million albums worldwide, secured four Classical BRIT Awards, and holds the distinction of releasing the two best-selling classical albums of the 21st century. His debut album, The Voice, achieved an unprecedented one million sales in the UK alone.
Throughout his illustrious career, Russell has performed for world leaders and royalty including Her Majesty The Queen, His Majesty King Charles III, Pope John Paul II, and Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama. His appearances at major international events – from the UEFA Champions League Final to the Commonwealth Games – have cemented his reputation as one of the world’s most powerful and versatile vocalists.
Having shared the stage with incredible artists such as Luciano Pavarotti, Paul McCartney, and Montserrat Caballé, and consistently performing to sold-out audiences around the globe, Russell’s voice continues to inspire and captivate.
Do not miss this exclusive performance at one of the East Midlands’ most iconic venues – a celebration of 25 years of musical excellence, passion, and world-class artistry.
Please note: Derby Cathedral has step-free access and accessible toilet facilities; however, wheelchair spaces are limited and are clearly indicated on the seating plan.
