We have a change of performer for our next concert since, sadly, Kseniia Nikolaieva is indisposed due to having given birth in the last week. However, we are delighted that tenor Elgan Llŷr Thomas will be singing a recital of repertoire from Europe and America, including arrangements of folk songs from Wales and Ireland. Elgan is a former English National Opera Harewood artist and a former Scottish Opera Emerging Artist. He made his Royal Opera House debut last season as First Noble Lord of Brabant in Lohengrin and has received excellent reviews for his recent performance as Ralph Rackstraw in ENO’s production of HMS Pinafore
