A much-loved cornerstone of the Festival, our Lunchtime Recitals offer the rare opportunity to hear our principal singers up close in a relaxed and intimate setting.

Here, the voices that command the mainstage reveal a more personal side, joined by exceptional pianists whose artistry brings richness and variety to each programme. From operatic arias and lieder to oratorio and beloved classics, every recital promises a distinctive musical journey. Taking place in the beautiful surroundings of St Iberius Church and the National Opera House, each performance features different artists and repertoire, which makes every occasion unique!

Demand is always high, and early booking is strongly advised. Full line-up of artists to be announced.
