A cast of four young singers and a pianist will perform excerpts from favourites, including Bizet's Carmen, Puccini's La bohème and Mozart's Don Giovanni, as well as music by Handel, Rossini, Britten and Strauss.

Performers include Scottish tenor Nicky Spence, a two-time Classical Brit nominee who recently played Tamino in Scottish Opera's The Magic Flute.
