Operatic Magic

Once again, a lovely summer’s evening provided the perfect setting for our Opera at Syon event in The Great Conservatory at Syon on Wednesday, 18th June.

Guests began the evening with champagne and canapés and were serenaded into the night with Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, staged by the extraordinary performers of

Auction items included a jewelry commission with Esther Eyre, a day’s insurance valuation by Lyon & Turnbull and stalking in Fife courtesy of Woodmill Shootings.

Many thanks to the following individuals and companies who helped make the event truly magical:

• DIVA OPERA for their spectacular performance.
• Briony Lewton for beautifully preparing and presenting sumptuous picnic hampers for guests during the interval.
• Carr’s for donating their Table Water Biscuits.
• Mortimer & Bennett for supplying the delicious cheeses.
• Henry Bowring, Sotheby's auctioneer.

And as always, a very special thank you to Elizabeth, Duchess of Northumberland, who very kindly continues to be Patron of the event, Lady Julia Craig Harvey and Mrs. Peter Hargreaves-Allen, co-chairs of the organising committee, and to all members of the committee.

Their hard work and dedication have helped to raise over £600,000 to date.
