Win an operatic break to London with overnight stay and dinner at The Clermont, Charing Cross.

To celebrate the release of MARIA in cinemas from the 10th January, we’re offering one lucky winner an operatic break in London, including Theatre Token gift card to treat yourself to a night at the Opera and overnight stay with dinner at The Clermont, Charing Cross.

Academy Award®-winner Angelina Jolie is Maria Callas, one of the most iconic performers of the 20th century in acclaimed director Pablo Larrain’s operatic MARIA. The film follows the American-Greek soprano as she retreats to Paris after a glamorous and tumultuous life in the public eye. MARIA reimagines the legendary soprano in her final days as the diva reckons with her identity and life.

About The Clermont:

Situated on the Strand at Charing Cross Station, The Clermont London is just a few steps from the most central point in London.

That also means many of the Capital’s must-see attractions including Trafalgar Square, National Gallery, London Eye, West End and Covent Garden Market are all within a few minutes’ walk.
