Performers from the Belfast Operatic Company have described their experience at London’s Royal Albert Hall as nothing short of unforgettable, and honestly, it’s easy to see why.
A total of 31 cast members from the company were invited to take part in the special event, joining performers from across the UK and Ireland to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Les Misérables. For any theatre lover, that alone is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

What made this appearance particularly special was the scale of the Les Misérables finale. The stage was filled with a powerful mix of professional West End stars and amateur performers, although calling them “amateur” hardly did them justice. The Belfast Operatic cast stood shoulder to shoulder with seasoned performers, and the result was a massive, emotionally charged wall of sound that filled the Royal Albert Hall. It was said that the music didn’t just echo through the venue, it shook it.
For the Belfast performers, months of rehearsals and years of dedication led to those few extraordinary minutes on stage. The company, which has long been associated with Belfast’s rich theatre scene and the Grand Opera House, was given the chance to represent Northern Ireland on an international platform. That opportunity was clearly embraced with pride, passion, and professionalism.
The Les Misérables segment became one of the standout moments of the entire evening. As flags waved and voices rose together, the past, present, and future of the iconic musical were celebrated in a single, dramatic sequence. For many in the audience, it felt like witnessing a piece of theatre history being made in real time.
When the final note rang out and the applause followed, it wasn’t just a performance that had been delivered. A dream was fulfilled. For the Belfast Operatic Company, being part of the 2025 Royal Variety Performance wasn’t simply about appearing on a famous stage. It was about showing what community theatre can achieve, proving that talent from Belfast belongs at the very heart of the world’s biggest cultural celebrations.
