TOUR & CONTACT

"Opera Singers Alexander and James as Opera Galleria are to be congratulated on pulling off this bold musical and theatrical venture, which was warmly applauded by a large audience."

Tour Dates
Please check back regularly while the Coronavirus situation unfolds, as some concerts have had to be postponed whilst we await confirmation that they can go ahead safely. It would seem we are indeed all connected, not only by music but by disease. We remain resolutely focussed on the former whilst extending every gratitude to those in the health professions who care for us when affected by the latter.
