Life for singers and musicians has been extremely challenging as most of the world’s opera houses have been silenced and stages left empty. To help raise the spirits, Rosenblatt Recitals has brought together 30 of the greatest voices in opera performing arias and duets under eight themed programmes. The singers perform the music that they love, from the intimate setting of their homes, many during the harshest of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
