The evening begins with an exclusive pre-recital cocktail reception at the Roman Baths, offering private, after-hours access to this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Guests are invited to explore the ancient baths at leisure, enjoy complimentary drinks, and socialise in an atmosphere rarely experienced by the public.
Following the reception, guests will move to the Pump Room for an intimate, salon-style operatic recital beginning at 8.00pm. The programme features a carefully curated selection of arias, performed by outstanding emerging opera singers from across the UK, and presented within one of the country’s most elegant concert spaces.
This Opening Recital marks the inaugural event of ARYA, a new international association dedicated to nurturing rising artistic voices and reimagining how opera is experienced by contemporary audiences. The programme balances classical beauty with emotional immediacy, offering a fresh and engaging perspective on the art form.
Designed for those who appreciate artistry, heritage and refinement, this is not a conventional concert, but a rare cultural occasion where music, history and atmosphere come together.
7.00pm – 8.00pm: Private reception at the Roman Baths
