Steven Devine will conduct the Mozart Festival Orchestra and Chorus in full period costume and the Soprano will be Keri Fuge.

There will be readings from Dickens and the Scriptures by a special guest – Christopher Timothy.

Before the concert we will visit Christopher’s Grill in Covent Garden for a glass of bubbly and a delicious two-course brunch in their private room. We shall include a glass of wine with your meal.

There will be some time to enjoy the sights and sounds of Christmas in Covent Garden before we journey to the Royal Albert Hall. Traffic and weather permitting, a tour of the Christmas lights in the West End will be included before we journey home. A deposit of £50pp will secure your place.

The cost for this event will include luxury transport, bubbly and brunch with wine, your theatre ticket and surprise Christmas treats.

This event usually fills up very quickly. Please let us know if you would like to come.
