A perfect test drive of the world’s most famous arias, the concert introduces novices to the vast world of opera through familiar tunes.

Each performance will feature a combination of four of OA’s finest principal artists: sopranos Petah Chapman, Sophie Salvesani and Anne-Louise Cole, mezzos soprano Sian Sharp and Chanyang Choi, tenors Simon Kim and Thomas strong, and baritones tenor Luke Gabbedy and Alexander Sefton.
