Earlier this week it was announced that tenor Rafael Rojas (1963-2022) had sadly died. Rojas had links with a number of British opera companies including Opera Holland Park and Opera North. In tribute to him, Opera North reposted this delightful video on YouTube of Rojas and the ladies of the chorus of Opera North in a surprise performance of 'Nessun Dorma' from Puccini's Turandot given to the shoppers at Trinity Leeds.
