A HAMPSHIRE charity is inviting lovers young and old to celebrate Valentine’s weekend with a night out at the opera.

Operafrica is hosting A Romantic Night at the Opera at the Winchester Theatre Royal.

The charity was started by international opera singer Janice Cairns and her daughter Samantha Collins.

Janice and some of her former colleagues from the English National Opera company will be performing on February 11 from 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £20 and are available from the box office on 01962 844600 with all proceeds going to charity.
