Yesterday, we were one of the fortunate patrons at the Royal Albert Hall, witnessing one of the very best classical performances we have ever witnessed. It was the Classical Spectacular! As the name clearly said it, the performance was indeed spectacular. Not only were the music pieces well thought and chosen, the sets of the musicians from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, choir, opera singers, conductor and the whole production with the laser lights effect, props and costumes brought out the whole show splendidly!
It was really awe-striking with the rare injections of some sense of humour and the good showman from the conductor, along with the sportsmanship of the audiences who sang happily along the choirs in the two typical British songs ‘Rule Britannia’ and the ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ while waving the British flags proudly. These made the event even more fun and enjoyable!
As if the performance was not good enough, the thundering cannons and the Moscow militia muskets which played along the Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture with the incredible indoor fireworks capped the night in style and elegance!
We just love every seconds of the performance. It was first class.
