As former Director of Music, it is a pleasure to be back at Christ Church with an operatic concert programme, featuring Vienna Opera Soloist Daria Papysheva:

AN AFTERNOON OF OPERA

Christ Church Isle of Dogs, 13.07.2024, 3pm

Get ready for an enchanting evening, with the beauty of opera to be experienced in all it's charm and colours.

After coming back to the stage as a mother, Daria celebrates the importance of early motherhood in a woman's life by welcoming everyone, especially pregnant women, mothers with babies and children in a warm and inclusive environment that is open and respectful of all.

• Kids go for free: The concert is baby and family friendly, to provide accessible arts education for children - with all children under 12 admitted for FREE, and discounts available for families.
• Supporting Charity: We are pleased to announce that a proportion of ticket sales will be dedicated to supporting UNFPA Charity for Mum's and Babies in Need.
• Donate with us: We are also offering the opportunity to make a difference by donating children's clothes and items, which will be passed on directly to charities and those in need.
• Cake & Patisserie Makers: We are welcoming local cake & patisserie makers to showcase their delicious art, which can be purchased during the break and afterwards
• Exciting Music: The programme features romantic repertoire including famous arias by Verdi, Puccini, Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov, as well as romances by Rachmaninov and others.
