Join us for a classical extravaganza at the Royal Albert Hall, featuring ‘Nessun dorma’, ‘Zadok the Priest’ and ‘Jerusalem’ plus a host of star artists!

Classic FM Live with Viking returns to the Royal Albert Hall for a 25th anniversary musical extravaganza – Classic FM Live at 25!

On Monday 20 October 2025, the renowned Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and 100-strong Bournemouth Symphony Chorus, conducted by Mark Wigglesworth, will perform anthems including Handel’s ‘Zadok the Priest’, Parry’s ‘Jerusalem’ and Puccini’s great aria – made famous by Luciano Pavarotti – ‘Nessun dorma’.

There will be performances from special guest artists: renowned bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel will make a special appearance in his 60th birthday year, and composer Sir John Rutter will conduct his own much-loved choral music as part of his 80th birthday celebrations.

Plus, there will be performances from violinist Esther Abrami, tenor Pene Pati, Classic FM’s composer in residence Debbie Wiseman OBE, and Diana Newell, winner of Channel 4’s The Piano.
