| Julien Van Mellaerts at Opera in Song in 2022 |
Opera in Song, baritone Julien Van Mellaerts and pianist Dylan Perez’ song recital series at Opera Holland Park, returns for 2026 with three recitals and a masterclass from 22 to 26 June 2026. Tenor Robert Murray and soprano Madeline Boreham join Perez to open the series with a musical reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s seminal novel, Alice’s Adventures Under Ground, exploring the nonsensical prose of the novel as well as influences in Carroll’s life and creativity including works by Elgar, Walton and their contemporaries.
Soprano Louise Alder will be giving a public masterclass with the OHP Young Artists, and then in the evening, she, Perez and the OHP Young Artists will perform works by Mozart, Haydn and Mendelssohn. The final event celebrates OHP’s production of Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West with soprano Olivia Boen joining Van Mellaerts and Perez to perform works by Copland, Previn and Bernstein. Perez and Van Mellaerts will also be celebrating the release of their disc, Dialogues which comes out on Delphian Records in June.
