Join us for Love – The Essence of Life, a special fundraising concert in support of Maggie’s Cancer Centre. This lunchtime performance features arias and songs that celebrate love in all its forms — as a source of hope, strength, and resilience.

Presented by Opera Vera, with soprano Yuliya Trishkeu and pianist/music director James Gillett, the program includes works by Bellini, Rimsky-Korsakov, Dvořák, Puccini, and more. Through music, we honour the vital work Maggie’s does for those affected by cancer and aim to raise funds to support this extraordinary organisation.

This concert will take place at the Bridgewater Hall in the Barbirolli Room.

The event has been postponed from October to Spring 2026, with the exact date and time to be confirmed in due course.
