An Evening with Graham Gooch England legend Graham Gooch is the highest run-scorer of all time. His 67,057 runs across first class and limited overs cricket is more even than Sachin Tendulkar’s tally. One of only 25 players to have scored over 100 first-class centuries, he is a three time Ashes winner. He captained England to a World Cup final and his famous 333 against India is the highest Test score at Lord’s. In 2012 he became England’s batting coach and worked with greats including Kevin Pietersen and Joe Root. Gooch’s experience of the game cannot be bettered and he has the stories, funny and serious, to prove it. Dates: Sat 25 Booking and More Information

In his new production, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga returns after his acclaimed 2023 Met debut in L’Elisir d’Amore, co-starring as Amina’s fiancé Elvino, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera’s most ravishing works. Dates: Tue 21 Booking and More Information

At the mercy of Scarpia’s twisted desires, Tosca is forced to make a horrific bargain: sleeping with the man she hates in order to save the man she loves. Can she find a way out?

A star-studded cast includes soprano Anna Netrebko performing the role of Tosca, tenor Freddie De Tommaso as Cavaradossi, and bass-baritone Gerald Finley as Scarpia, with Music Director of The Royal Opera Jakub Hrůša conducting his first new production in the role.
