Sir Thomas Allen is an established star of the world’s great opera houses. At Covent Garden alone, where in 2006 he celebrated the thirty-fifth anniversary of his début, he has sung over forty roles. He is equally renowned on the concert platform, giving recitals in the UK, Europe, Australia and America, and appearing with the world's greatest orchestras and conductors. For this recital he is joined by the award-winning pianist Joseph Middleton and the highly acclaimed soprano, Geraldine McGreevy, both of whom are graduates of the University’s Music Department. An established recitalist and recording artist, Geraldine is now recognised also as a rising operatic star. Her recent engagements include débuts at the Frankfurt Opera, the Monnaie Theatre (Brussels) and the Komische Oper (Berlin).
