Notable’s Summer Opera Gala & Garden Party
2 July 2026 | 18:15
Summer doesn't officially begin until someone sings Bizet in a Chelsea garden
Notable returns to its favourite Chelsea address for an elegant summer soirée featuring world-class opera, free-flowing drinks, exquisite canapés and a festive garden celebration.
The evening begins with bubbles and beautifully curated canapés by The Original Menu before a concert of opera's most seductive, scandalous and sublime moments performed by some of Britain's most exciting rising stars.
Opera's Greatest Hits
A sparkling programme of beloved arias and ensembles from Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, Bizet, Strauss, Lehár and Bernstein.
Food & Drinks
Free-flowing bubbles, summer drinks and exceptional canapés curated by The Original Menu throughout the evening.
The Garden Party
A glamorous Chelsea gathering with music, conversation, beautiful surroundings and a late summer after-party.
A celebration of opera's most irresistible moments
The programme journeys through some of the most beloved music ever written for the stage, from the wit of Mozart and the romance of Puccini to the passion of Bizet and the glamour of Strauss.
We are delighted to introduce British mezzo-soprano Emma Roberts and baritone Tim Alexander ahead of their appearances in Notable's forthcoming production of Carmen in the South of France.
Joining them is one of Notable's most beloved artists, soprano Natasha Day, with the evening guided by artistic director and virtuoso pianist Pavel Timofeyevsky.
“An elegant Chelsea garden party filled with opera, champagne, exceptional food and the unmistakable feeling that summer has finally arrived.”
