Bedford Park Proms – 25th Anniversary year

Bedford Park Proms 2021 will be our 25th Proms event and it’s shaping up to be a spectacular evening, with best-selling tenor Wynne Evans and soprano, Victoria Joyce now confirmed for Bedfordshire’s most prestigious al fresco Proms event.

Wynne Evans is a best-selling classical artist, with his debut album going straight to number one in the classical charts. His acclaimed performance in the 25th anniversary performance of The Phantom of the Opera, and appearances in a host of concerts at the Royal Opera House, English National Opera and Opera North have made him an incredibly popular live performer. But you may also recognise him for his decade in the recurring role as Gio Compario in a series of TV adverts.

“Wynne’s performance at last year’s concert was just spectacular and we’re delighted to be welcoming him back to the Bedford Park Proms,” said promoter and event organiser, Mark Harrison.

Victoria is without a doubt one of the UK’s most exciting performers. After studying at the Royal Northern College of Music she made her English National Opera debut in 2003 as La Charmeuse in Massenet’s Thaïs, and has returned to ENO on many occasions since performing roles such as Queen of the Night in Mozart’s The Magic Flute and Rosina/The Barber of Seville. Also appearing at prestigious opera houses including La Fenice, Hamburg State Opera; the Semper State Opera in Dresden and Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro.

The rousing musical accompaniment to the evening will be provided by the London Gala Orchestra under the baton of Stephen Bell.

“This is a fantastic line-up for this year’s event, we’re thrilled to have Victoria performing alongside Wynne this year,” added Mark.

“The Bedford Park Proms always provides a night to remember, and we’re looking forward to bringing back traditional favourites to celebrate our 25th anniversary, from the Bedford Choral Society as well as a stunning fireworks and laser show to bring the evening to a close.”
