Tutti 4 (hamlet) – Westminster City School, London

About this event

Tutti 4 is the fourth combined (orchestra + chorus + principals) rehearsal for Chelsea Opera Group's concert staging of Ambroise Thomas's Hamlet. The rehearsal takes place at Westminster City School in central London on the evening of Thursday 29 October 2026, three days before the public performance. As with all COG “Tutti” sessions, the rehearsal integrates the full orchestral and choral forces with the principal soloists in the run-up to the concert at Cadogan Hall. The associated concert is led by Jonathon Cole-Swinard in his COG debut and will be sung in French with English surtitles for the audience. COG fields its own chorus and orchestra for this concert performance; a pre-concert talk by Simon Bainbridge is scheduled at 4:15 pm on 1 November at Cadogan Hall.
