After receiving their international breakthroughs at OHP, José de Eça, Matteo Desole and Matteo Lippi take centre stage for The Opera Holland Park Three Tenors: a concert bringing together some of the best-known arias in the tenor repertoire, performed alongside City of London Sinfonia and the Opera Holland Park Chorus under the baton of Matthew Kofi Waldren. 

Three tenors. Three remarkable voices. One unforgettable night at Opera Holland Park. 

At the heart of Opera Holland Park’s summer season, the programme is packed with music audiences know and love, bringing together some of opera’s great tenor showpieces, including Nessun dorma from Puccini’s Turandot, E lucevan le stelle from Tosca, Vesti la giubba from Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci, La donna è mobile from Verdi’s Rigoletto, Dein ist mein ganzes Herz from Lehár’s Das Land des Lächelns, and Federico’s Lament, È la solita storia del pastore, from Cilea’s L’arlesiana. 

The Opera Holland Park Three Tenors will also be a special fundraising evening, offering audiences the opportunity to enjoy an exceptional night of music and celebration while helping to raise vital funds for Opera Holland Park. 

Three exceptional experiences 

Alongside the concert, guests will be able to make the evening even more memorable through three specially created hospitality experiences, each available to book separately and designed to support Opera Holland Park’s fundraising ambitions. 

All guests booking one of the three hospitality experiences will be invited to an exclusive post-show reception with the Three Tenors. 

Gusbourne & Canapé Reception in The Ensemble 

For this special evening, The Ensemble will be closed to Members and transformed into an exclusive ticketed reception. 

Guests will enjoy free-flowing Gusbourne English Sparkling Wine and canapés before the performance and during the interval, with the opportunity to meet, mingle and raise a glass as part of the evening. 

The reception will be limited to 100 guests. 

A Special Supper Night 

A specially curated edition of Opera Holland Park’s popular Supper Nights, bringing together music, food and wine for this one-night-only occasion. 

Guests will enjoy an exclusive tasting of Italian and Portuguese wines, celebrating the heritage of the evening’s three tenors, alongside a specially created four-course, fully waitered supper. 

Chairman’s Supper 

For just 14 guests, the Chairman’s Dinner is an exclusive private supper in The Rose Room, hosted by Sir David Verey CBE and Lady Emma Verey. 

 One of the evening’s most exclusive experiences, the supper offers guests the opportunity to enjoy a specially created menu and engaging conversation in one of the most private and beautiful settings at Opera Holland Park. 

 

Three Tenors 

All three artists have established close relationships with Opera Holland Park, returning to the company in leading roles across recent seasons and establishing themselves as firm audience favourites. 

Portuguese tenor José de Eça made his company and role debut as Cavaradossi in Tosca in 2024, returning as Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor in 2025, and as Dick Johnson in La fanciulla del West and Calaf in Turandot in 2026. 

“His Italianate tenor possesses all the requisite fire power” — The Guardian on Josè as Calaf in Turandot at Opera Holland Park 2026 

Italian tenor Matteo Desole has become a familiar presence at Opera Holland Park through his performances as Alfredo in La traviata in 2018, 2021 and 2025, and Gustavo in Un ballo in maschera in 2026. 

“Almost ethereal, delivered with true tenderness.” — The Arts Desk on Matteo as Nemorino in L’elisir d’amore at Glyndebourne 2023 

Genoese tenor Matteo Lippi made his OHP debut as Ruggero in La rondine in 2017, returning as Gustavo in Un ballo in maschera in 2019 and in the title role of L’amico Fritz in 2021. 

“A radiant Puccini natural.” — The Guardian on Matteo in La rondine at Opera Holland Park 2017
