Candlelit concert of opera showstoppers by London Concertante with four soloists, drawing on works by Mozart, Puccini, Verdi, Rossini and Bizet.
London Concertante bring A Night at the Opera to Lincoln Cathedral on Saturday 31 October, with the music starting at 7:30pm. It's one of their most popular shows, and the format is straightforward: four soloists each sing solo arias as well as duets, trios and quartets, all accompanied by a live orchestra, taking the audience through some of opera's best-known showstoppers.
The music draws on works by Mozart, Puccini, Verdi, Rossini and Bizet, from operas like The Magic Flute, La traviata, Madama Butterfly, Tosca, Turandot, Carmen and The Barber of Seville. The 2026 edition has been completely refreshed and expanded, building on previous years with a richer and more varied musical journey and a baritone added to the line-up alongside the soprano, mezzo-soprano and tenor. It pairs the showstoppers audiences know and love, such as 'Largo al factotum' and the 'Toreador Song', with celebrated ensemble highlights including Mozart's trio 'Soave sia il vento' and Verdi's quartet 'Bella figlia dell'amore'.
