The Game Of Thrones concert is one of which named One World company’s ‘Operasodes’ concerts, a term coined by artistic director and composer Sung Jin Hong to describe a concert based on a particular TV show.

Commenting on the choice of Game Of Thrones as a concert inspiration, Hong said: “The show has all the drama, intrigue, and passion that operas have been providing us for centuries: seduction, obsession, deception, political manoeuvring, romance, heartbreak, incest – to name a few.”

The programme for the concert is full of operatic greats and the occasional dip into GoT-style fantasy fiction:
