Pauline Viardot and Her Circle Past Event

Performers

Ema Nikolovska mezzo-soprano
Malcolm Martineau piano

A household name across Europe during the late 19th century, Pauline Viardot was an international opera star by 18, studied the piano with Liszt, played duets with Chopin, charmed Saint-Saëns, Berlioz, Gounod and the writer Turgenev, and hosted the greatest musical salon of her day. She was also a fine composer, though one still heard too rarely today.

BBC New Generation Artist Ema Nikolovska and pianist Malcolm Martineau invite you to step into Viardot’s drawing room for a lunchtime recital of music by Viardot, her friends and her contemporaries – including Gounod, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Chopin.

Duration: approx. 1 hour (no interval)

All orders are subject to a transaction fee, except if made in person. See booking information for details, payment methods and delivery options.

These events are not socially distanced

With the lifting of Covid restrictions by the government on 19 July, the BBC Proms concerts are full-capacity events. As a result, there will be no social distancing for the Proms concerts taking place at Cadogan Hall. This means you may have other audience members sitting next to you.

The BBC Proms have asked that we use Covid certification for audience members to gain entry to Cadogan Hall for the Proms concerts. As such, you will need to show us a valid NHS Covid Pass. This is achieved when you have one of the following, and have registered it with the NHS:

evidence of a negative lateral flow test, either taken at home or at a test centre, within 48 hours of the performance
evidence of double vaccination provided via the NHS App or letter provided by the NHS
proof of natural immunity based upon a positive PCR test taken within 180 days of the performance

Find out more about how to access your NHS Covid Pass

Those under the age of 18 should have verbal confirmation from a parent or guardian that they have not received a positive test.

We also ask that all customers wear a mask when visiting Cadogan Hall.

If you have any questions or concerns about the above, please call our box office on 020 7730 4500.
