DEBUT returns for their fifth recital at the Royal Opera House of 2019 for what promises to be a wonderful hour of trilling music and fascinating insights into the worlds of both opera and song.
As ever, we look forward to the normal DEBUT format for our recital, we’ll be chatting about the music during the concert as well as meeting guests as you arrive - and encouraging you to come and say hi once the performance ends!
Please note this concert is SOLD OUT.
