On May 16, the Royal Opera House is set to celebrate Sir Antonio Pappano’s 22 years as Music Director with a gala performance.

The gala will feature many leading singers including Diana Damrau, Ermonela Jaho, Lisette Oropesa, Sondra Radvanovsky, Nadine Sierra, Aigul Akhmetshina, Xabier Anduaga, Freddie De Tommaso, Jonas Kaufmann, Carlos Álvarez, Amartuvshin Enkhbat, Huw Montague Rendall, Gerald Finley, Bryn Terfel, and Insung Sima.

Pappano will conduct the evening which, per the company’s official website, is now sold out.

After conducting more than 700 performances with the Royal Opera House, Antonio Pappano will step down as Music Director of the company and will become the Chief Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra. He will, however, continue a close relationship with the company and conduct its new Ring Cycle.
