The Monteverdi Choir and ORR will be at full strength for this much-anticipated performance with more than 140 musicians taking to the stage. It will also be a chance to experience the thrill and variety of Verdi's masterpiece in a historically-informed performance on period instruments. Westminster Cathedral, London DD/MM/YYYYDetails
