During the tour, you will explore Westminster while enjoying music performed by the talented ENO Chorus and Orchestra. Along the way, you'll be treated to live performances by beloved characters from Gilbert & Sullivan's operas.

As you stroll through the city, you'll be provided with headsets to enjoy the music and insightful commentary. Along the way, you'll discover fascinating stories about the operettas and the brilliant minds who created them.
