Saturday 21st May 7.30pm Operababes |
Tickets £23 |
Rebecca Knight and Karen England accompanied by Janet Haney - piano |
This will be the first concert to feature the beautiful English songs from the Operababes forthcoming new album including pieces by Quilter, Britten, Handel, Ireland and Vaughan Williams.
Discovered busking in Covent Garden by a talent scout, the girls were invited to perform at the FA Cup Final, televised to 500 million people worldwide, and the UEFA Champions League final in Milan. Their meteoric rise to fame subsequently made them the subject of a record company bidding war.
Both classically trained, Karen England and Rebecca Knight have since traveled the globe performing in concert with the world's leading orchestras, including the Philharmonia, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the BBC Concert Orchestra and the Berlin Symphony Orchestra.
Their numerous promotional appearances include GMTV, Des & Mel, Good Morning America and Fox and Friends. The Operababes have also been the subject of three UK documentaries and one US documentary. Recently they made history by becoming the first UK classical act to ever perform in Las Vegas |
