Overview

Thomas Allen moved from his native County Durham to London half a century ago to study at the Royal College of Music.

The young baritone’s remarkable talent soon flourished on the opera stage, where he swiftly secured international fame as one of the leading artists of his generation. In addition to his long list of operatic roles, Sir Thomas has cultivated a remarkably diverse recital repertoire over the course of his distinguished career and appeared many times at Wigmore Hall.

He returns on the eve of his 70th birthday to perform an irresistible programme of works close to his heart.
