The Dream of Gerontius

125 years since its first performance, Elgar's masterpiece is one of the greatest works for choir and orchestra. We are thrilled to bring it to the Royal Festival Hall, in our first joint performance with the world-famous Choir of King's College, Cambridge. Daniel Hyde, Musical Director of both choirs, conducts. Andrew Staples will sing the role of Gerontius, alongside mezzo soprano Kathryn Rudge and bass James Platt and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Full details and booking here.

beholds the angels and souls of the blessed forming a rose in attendance upon the Deity
