| Christmas Concert 2011 - Royal Festival Hall with London Philharmonic Orchestra the orchestra that with whom we record all the Maestro Classics CDs |
Our last evening was a business trip to hear the
London Philharmonic Orchestra Chorus at Royal Festival Hall. The new very hot
pop opera singer, Russell Watson, was their star attraction for this benefit
concert for The Prince's Trust, Prince Charles' Trust that is devoted to
providing education and training for disadvantaged youth. A quick trip to
Harrod's provided a comb with magnificent feathers that enabled me to attend
this fancy event. This sell-out event with stage filled with orchestra, chorus,
backup singers, Russell himself, plus flood lights, decorations, Christmas
trees, and (to my astonishment) HUGE flame throwers to add a bit of drama (I
could feel the heat of these 30-foot high shots of fire on my face in the 2nd
row - I confess that I did check for the location of the emergency exits as
they began), was quite a spectacle.
