Experience the very best of classical music in celebration of ‘Britain’s most successful living classical impresario’ (Spectator), Raymond Gubbay CBE and his long association with the Hall.
For decades, Raymond has delighted our audiences with world famous productions, from Classical Spectacular to Swan Lake in the round and Madam Butterfly, featuring a Japanese water garden. Now, join us to honour his legacy in a gala concert full of audience favourites, compered by ITV’s Good Morning Britain presenter, broadcaster and Classic FM host Charlotte Hawkins.
Bringing together famous classical works from opera and stage, by composers such as Gershwin, Sondheim, Ravel, Elgar, Verdi and more, the afternoon will culminate in a dazzling finale of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, complete with roaring cannon effects.
‘Raymond Gubbay is widely recognised as the promoter and events producer who has brought classical music to more people in the UK than anyone else’ Music Week
Raymond will also be signing copies of his autobiography, Lowering The Tone and Raising The Roof, which tells the story of his rise, featuring encounters with Miles Davis, Diana, Princess of Wales, Luciano Pavarotti and Andrew Lloyd-Webber.
This special Gala is part of Love Classical 2022.
