The 1991 "Pavarotti in the Park" concert in London's Hyde Park was an absolutely colossal and historic event, held on July 30, 1991. It drew an immense crowd, estimated to be between 125,000 to 150,000 people, making it one of the largest classical music concerts ever staged.

The concert became legendary not just for Pavarotti's magnificent performance marking his 30th career anniversary, but also for the torrential, relentless rain that poured down throughout much of the evening. Despite the soaking conditions, the vast audience remained captivated. Famously, Princess Diana was among the VIP attendees, and she lowered her umbrella, a gesture widely interpreted as showing solidarity with the drenched crowd, further endearing her to the public. The event also served a charitable purpose, raising funds for the Royal Parks Tree Appeal to help replant trees damaged by a recent storm. It was broadcast live globally, bringing opera to an unprecedented mass audience.

Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.

These posters are sent as unframed. They will be rolled up and delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
