What guests say
“This is a unique experience. The standard of music and performance is incredible and the programmes are designed with great thought. But, it's much more than that....the atmosphere, environment, warmth and welcome are unlike anything else I have encountered. It is quite clear that the performers and the audience love every minute. It's a privilege and joy to be there. I can't wait for the next one.” - Debra
"Such an amazing welcome, really great space and the hosts were so inclusive. I have not seen or heard any opera before but I was entranced by all the performances. I will definitely be back." - Jon
"Definitely would recommend it to anyone looking to do something different in London. An unforgettable and really fun evening" - Eyad
FAQs
What is the structure of the evening?
Doors open at 2pm (matinee) and 6.30pm (evening), you'll be greeted by our team at the door and be shown to your seat! Our resident pianist will be playing fun improvised tunes on the piano until the concert starts 20 minutes later. From there we'll have 2 x 45 minute sets of music (with lots of chatting), with a 25 minute interval giving time for the performers to come and say hi, or for you to refill your drink!
How is the venue accessed?
We are located on the third floor, please note there is no lift access
Seating
Seating is on a mixture of chairs, stools and floor cushions (where you get the best view being within touching distance of the performers!). If needed, we can reserve you a seat with back rest - just get in touch before the night.
