British Youth Opera’s Christmas on the Strand

British Youth Opera's Christmas on the Strand

British Youth Opera is promising a candlelit blend of music, readings and champagne that really captures the essence of the season at its Christmas on the Strand event in Tuesday 17 December 2024 at St Clement Danes Church, the enchanting Christopher Wren church between the Aldwych and the Royal Courts of Justice. Built in 1682, Wren’s church as gutted by bombing in the Blitz and restored in 1958 as the central church of the Royal Air Force.

Special guest at Christmas on the Strand, Joanna Scanlon will be reading a selection of secular Christmas literature, whilst mezzo-soprano Claire Barnett-Jones, soprano Elin Pritchard and BYO Alumni will be on hand to provide Christmas classics, popular opera favourites and winter curiosities including, we are promised, a Joni Mitchell number.

Full details from BYO’s website.
