About the event
From See Tickets's listing
Celebrate the final days of the year with an unforgettable evening of passion, drama, and glorious music, performed in the breathtaking candlelit setting of Manchester Cathedral. Join the exceptional Piccadilly Sinfonietta and a cast of brilliant operatic voices for a sparkling concert featuring some of the greatest opera arias ever composed-a perfect way to add magic and meaning to the festive season as the New Year approaches. This beautifully curated programme brings together the warmth of Mozart, the intensity of Puccini and Verdi, and the irresistible allure of Bizet and Donizetti. Whether you're an opera aficionado or simply looking to experience something uplifting and moving, this performance promises a night of emotional depth, virtuosity, and timeless beauty.

How I list these
Everything here comes from the feeds of the ticket and experience sellers I work with: See Tickets. That's a lot, but it isn't everything on in Manchester: venues that sell their own tickets, or sell through sellers whose feeds don't reach me, won't show here yet.
Events are in date order, and a show on several dates appears once, on its first, with how many more there are. Things to do any day start with the seller's own UK picks, then those rated 4.5 or more, guided before self-guided, shared before private, then by rating and price. Every ticket link is an ad: if you buy, the seller may pay me commission, at no cost to you. Commission never changes what's listed or the order.
A price is the seller's lowest for one ticket (or one person, when two book a tour together), as its feed gives it, and I've checked on each seller's own pages what it covers. See Tickets's includes its booking fee, and it adds an order fee to each booking (£1.25 to £4 on the events I checked), which I show beside the price. Where I haven't checked what a seller's price covers, or its feed is more than a day and a half old, I show no price at all.
I don't list resold tickets for football in England and Wales, or for any match in a UEFA or FIFA competition: selling or advertising them without the organiser's permission is a crime (section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). Times are UK times. Events change and sell out, so the seller's page is the final word.
