Note: this event has passed.
Join Ealing Choral Society for a very special celebration to mark the 100th and 150th anniversary (respectively) of two of the great opera singers: Maria Callas and Enrico Caruso. As well as being Ealing Choral Society’s 60th, 2023 is also a significant anniversary year for two great opera composers, Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner. Thus the concert will feature arias those two singers made their own, plus favourite arias and choruses from Handel to hits from contemporary musical theatre. It will surely be a night to remember!
TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT FOR THIS EVENT.
THERE MAY BE SOME RETURNS AT THE BOX OFFICE ON THE EVENING OF THE CONCERT.
