Surrounded by the beautiful formal gardens and wilded woodlands of Holland Park, our canopied open-air auditorium is the perfect place to enjoy critically acclaimed opera in the heart of London.
Welcome to
Opera Holland Park
A year-round commitment to excellence in opera, centred on an extraordinary three-month summer festival.
Watch the trailer for The Barber of Seville, opening 4 June
Disguises and deceptions abound as the course of true love hits the rocks. With brilliantly inventive arias and ensembles that fizz at lightning speed, Rossini’s opera serves as a tart prequel to Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro. This production is supported by Viking.
