Situated on the Strand, close to Somerset House and King’s College London, St Mary le Strand is one of central London’s finest examples of English Baroque architecture. Its distinctive silhouette, ornate exterior and richly decorated interior make it a striking landmark in the heart of the city. Once surrounded by busy traffic, the church now stands within a pedestrianised public space, offering a quieter setting amid the activity of the Strand and Aldwych. A Grade I listed building, St Mary le Strand remains both an active Church of England parish church and a cultural landmark. Its architectural distinction, fascinating history and varied musical programme make it a memorable destination for visitors exploring London’s historic Strand and a characterful setting for concerts in the city centre.

Programme
Overview
Experience an evening of passion and virtuosity as the Piccadilly Sinfonietta and leading UK opera voices bring opera’s greatest arias to life. In the candlelit splendour of St Mary le Strand’s Baroque interior, timeless melodies meet intimate drama for a night you won’t forget.Step into an evening where candlelight dances across Baroque columns as the Piccadilly Sinfonietta, accompanied by some of the UK’s brightest operatic talents, transports you through a glittering anthology of opera’s most beloved arias. From Mozart’s playful elegance to Puccini’s heart-wrenching ardour and Verdi’s soaring drama, each piece unfolds with emotional clarity, brought to life by virtuoso voices and the ensemble’s refined musicianship. The intimate warmth of the church’s historic interior imbues every phrase with resonance: arched ceilings cradle the music while an amber glow softens the stone walls, inviting you into a space both majestic and personal. Under a conductor’s poised direction, strings and winds weave intricate textures around soloists’ expressive lines, guiding you from lighthearted lilt to thunderous climaxes. This carefully curated programme celebrates opera’s genius moments—moments of joy, sorrow and sublime beauty—rendered with flair, finesse and the profound artistry of performers at the peak of their craft.
