David Butt Philip & Friends Gala 2026

Friday, 13th of March 2026

An unforgettable evening of music with the critically acclaimed tenor, David Butt Philip, who returned to St Paul's Opera for this fifth Gala concert fundraiser, generously offering his support for our mission of giving emerging vocal artists a platform to develop their craft.

David performed in Clapham fresh from his debut at La Scala, Milan singing Siegmund in Die Walküre, and before he embarked on a spring and summer programme including Der fliegende Holländer in Tokyo, The Dream of Gerontius with the LSO under Antonio Pappano in London and Ariadne auf Naxos at Glyndebourne in July.

David was joined by friends from the home and international stages…
