Opera Evening at Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh

Enjoy an evening of 19^th Century Opera at Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, one of Edinburgh’s grandest 19^th century buildings on 23 October 2019. The evening will include excerpts from some of the world’s best loved operas, performed live by four hand-selected opera singers from around the country.

What makes this concert unique? The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh will open its doors for the first time to showcase 19^th century Opera against stunning architecture. Although the pieces being performed are from popular operas, the music selected in the  Art of 19^th Century Opera breaks away from the traditional repertoire commonly chosen and performed during classical concerts, providing intrigue and broadening the ear of the opera lover.
