British baritone Rodney Earl Clarke, who captured every heart when he starred in the Hallé’s Christmas Concert a few years ago, returns for another magical festive celebration. With his rich, powerful voice and captivating presence, Clarke is set to bring joy and sparkle to the season.
The programme is brimming with festive treats, from operatic gems to Hollywood favourites, all delivered with Clarke’s signature warmth and artistry. Seasonal classics will round off the evening, ensuring a performance filled with nostalgia and cheer.
Guiding the celebration is conductor Stephen Bell, a master of ceremonies whose charm and enthusiasm make him a favourite with audiences. He’ll lead the orchestra through a roll call of Christmas hits, bringing both grandeur and playfulness to the stage.
The concert will feature timeless music from Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov, alongside heartwarming movie scores ranging from Home Alone to Frozen. It’s a blend of tradition and modern magic, designed to delight the whole family.
No Christmas concert would be complete without a chance to join in. Audiences can enjoy old-fashioned participation with a singalong to White Christmas, and test their stamina by keeping up with the reindeer in Leroy Anderson’s lively Sleigh Ride.
A perfect festive evening for families, friends, and music lovers alike, this concert promises joy, sparkle, and seasonal spirit — the ideal way to celebrate Christmas with the Hallé.
