Fun, lively and engaging, expect popular hits and less familiar pieces from opera, film, and television, brought to life by the world class WNO Orchestra and a group of sensational soloists. The perfect opportunity to hear and enjoy live music, up close and personal, in a relaxed setting.

Alongside presenter Ruth Rosales and conductor Olivia Clarke, the music is brought to life by the world class WNO Orchestra, and a group of sensational opera singers. 

There will be plenty of opportunity for everyone to interact with the music, from dancing and clapping to singing along – all while learning about dynamics, rhythm, speed and of course, the instruments that make up an Orchestra.
