If music be the food of love, opera is the ultimate candlelit dinner – an endless banquet of soaring passion, tender emotions and melodies that go straight to your heart. This Valentine’s weekend, treat the special people in your life to the full menu: a whole afternoon of operatic romance at its most indulgent, dressed in the silken sound of the full Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and delivered with love by the maestro Jordan de Souza. With a glittering line-up of opera stars, expect to be swept off your feet with beautiful singing and glorious tunes.

Nicky Spence ‘displayed his unstoppable and expansive energy, adaptability and wit, from Ravel and Poulenc to John Dankworth, Victoria Wood and Stephen Sondheim… It was over too soon.’The Guardian, November 2024

Anne-Marie MacIntosh ‘brought a wealth of experience to her role… Right from the get go, the audience sensed that MacIntosh was in full control… with a strength and sumptuousness which made her vocal fireworks seem effortless.’Opera Canada, January 2025
