There’s also 'Chanson écossaise' by Ravel and 'Valentine Card', a mischievously mocking musical monologue by Jeremy Nicholas (our favourite line: "My ego is my amigo").

You’ll hear the haunting beauty of Tosti’s 'L’Ultima Canzone', the quiet elegance of Lalo’s 'L’Aubade', Coward’s bittersweet 'If Love Were All' and two Sondheim gems: 'The Girls of Summer' and 'Love is in the Air'.

From the fiery flair of Neapolitan song 'Funiculì Funiculà' to the razor wit of Tom Lehrer’s 'The Masochism Tango', Nicky’s set is packed with drama, humour and heart.

We’re thrilled to reveal Nicky Spence's dazzling programme for An Evening with Sarah Connolly, Nicky Spence and Friends on 12 May! 🤩 🎟️ Tickets are flying! Join us at St John's Waterloo in London. Book now at www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/an-evening...

Huge thanks to @StreetwiseOpera.bsky.social ‘s tremendous walkers in the London Walk last night. Hundreds of people walked through a very cold night, raising money for charities concerned with homelessness. Absolutely magnificent.

Composers! This is going to be a wonderful project.

Ahead of our Nature performances this month, we asked performers what the natural world means to them. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing their reflections. Find out more about this project and our upcoming events at streetwiseopera.org/nature?utm_s...
