The Rosenblatt Recital Series, which launched in 2000 as a showcase for up-and-coming singers as well as occasional star recitals, has found a new home at Wigmore Hall.

Lawyer Ian Rosenblatt founded the series to address what he saw as an absence of recital concert opportunities for opera singers in London. Among the more illustrious artists to have made his London recital debut in the series is Juan Diego Flórez, back in 2001.

The series moves to the Wigmore, one of the world's most acclaimed chamber music venues, after a decade at St John’s, Smith Square. John Gilhooly, director of Wigmore Hall, said of the new relationship: ‘As a distinguished operatic series, it will sit very well alongside the Hall’s own-promoted Art Song Recitals Series, and both will complement each other over the years ahead.’

The 2012-13 season, the first at the Wigmore, will open on September 24 with American tenor Lawrence Brownlee.
