A Night at The Opera by Candlelight (feat. Nessun Dorma)

Experience an unforgettable evening of passion, drama and timeless music as the exceptional Piccadilly Sinfonietta along with some of the UK’s finest operatic voices present a glittering selection of the greatest opera arias ever composed. Set in the stunning, candlelit interior of St Mary le Strand, this concert promises a feast for the senses.

From the playful elegance of Mozart to the soaring drama of Puccini and Verdi, this carefully curated programme celebrates the genius of opera’s greatest composers—their melodies, characters, and emotional depths brought to life by world-class performers in an intimate and inspiring setting. The venue is surrounded by excellent restaurants and bars, and is perfectly located to complete your evening in style.

One of London’s hidden architectural gems, St Mary le Stand is a masterpiece of English Baroque design, attributed to the legendary James Gibb, whose vision has shaped some of Britain’s most iconic buildings. With its grand columns, intricate ceiling, and historic charm, the church offers an atmosphere as rich and evocative as the music itself.

Entry includes a complimentary glass of Prosecco, served as you enjoy the ambience of this beautiful space.
