Over 100 musicians and singers are selected from the Sitz members, with the orchestra and singers rehearsing separately throughout the day, before coming together in the evening to run the show from start to finish. The event takes place with no audience present in the beautiful surroundings of our Grade II* listed Great Hall.

Sitzes are strictly private events, and you must be 18 or over to attend. To take part, you need to become a member, but it's completely free to sign up.

How we’re keeping you safe

April 2022 update: Keeping you safe and healthy is our number one priority.

If you test positive for Covid-19 or are asked to isolate and are not able to attend your class or pre-booked event, please contact the Bishopsgate Box Office for further information (enquiries@bishopsgate.org.uk). Please do not come to the Institute in person if you have symptoms or have tested positive.

Wearing a face mask is no longer compulsory but we ask you to consider others when in our building and especially when spending time in crowded and enclosed spaces where you come into contact with people you don’t normally meet. You will see many of our staff and volunteers continuing to wear face masks and we are keeping the perspex screens at our reception desks.

Bishopsgate Institute has strict cleaning protocols in place and ventilation throughout the building. There are hand-sanitising stations available throughout the building and touch-free drinking fountains. Find out more about how we’re keeping you safe.
