| Performance Notes | Experience the very best of classical music in celebration of Britains most successful living classical impresario (Spectator), Raymond Gubbay CBE and his long association with the Hall.
For decades, Raymond has delighted our audiences with world famous productions, from Classical Spectacular to Swan Lake in-the-round and Madam Butterfly, featuring a Japanese water garden. Now, join us to honour his legacy in a gala concert full of audience favourites, compèred by ITVs Good Morning Britain presenter, broadcaster and Classic FM host Charlotte Hawkins.
This celebratory concert will bring together famous classical works from opera and stage, by composers such as Gershwin, Sondheim, Ravel, Elgar, Verdi and more.
We are pleased to announce that organist Anna Lapwood will close the show performing the finale of Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony.
Raymond will also be signing copies of his autobiography, Lowering The Tone and Raising The Roof, at Door 6 after the show. The autobiography tells the story of his rise, featuring encounters with Miles Davis, Diana, Princess of Wales, Luciano Pavarotti and Andrew Lloyd-Webber.
