Rising star soprano Sofia Kirwan-Baez and pianist Alex Norton bring you an evening of highlights and anecdotes from the life of Cole Porter, accompanied by his wonderful music, in the historic setting of Ham House Stables, on the edge of Richmond Park. Mingle with other music lovers, meet the artists - and even some of the horses. Dogs welcome by prior arrangement (please contact [email protected])

Turning away from a comfortable life as a lawyer in Indiana, the bold Cole Porter opted for an extravagant life writing for musicals. Enjoy colourful stories of a man at the dawn of America's Golden Age era for musicals, known for incessantly challenging boundaries throughout his life.

From some of his earliest numbers in 1919 (from Hitchy-Koo) to High Society in 1956, our 90-minute-long whistle-stop tour will comprise the likes of What is this thing called Love?, Love for Sale, Night and Day, So in Love, C'est Magnifique, I love Paris, among many other masterpieces.

This concert is in support of the ENO Benevolent Fund
