Opera Rara continues its 2026/27 Salon Series with a day celebrating the life and music of composer Paolo Tosti (1846-1916).

Alumni artists from the Tosti International Singing Academy, in a new partnership with the Academy, will present songs by Tosti alongside songs by his contemporaries. Born in Italy but with an influential career in London, Tosti was once the singing-master to the British royal family, and his compositions were staples in the salons of Europe and elsewhere.

The pre-concert talk with music historian Flora Willson and a panel of Tosti scholars begins at 6:15pm.

The entire day also includes a lunch and masterclass with various packages available to book.
