Join us at the Lansdowne Club as we continue our exploration of rare and forgotten songs in our 2024/25 Salon Series. Baritone Lluís Calvet i Pey returns to London following his Opera Rara debut in Donizetti’s L’esule di Roma. Pianist James Southall joins him in a performance of songs by Donizetti and his contemporaries.

Set in the heart of Mayfair, the Lansdowne Club’s exclusive Grade II listed ballroom is an elegant backdrop to this intimate evening of song. The night begins with a welcome drink at 7:00 PM followed by the performance at 7:30 PM and post-concert reception with the artists.
