This past Saturday, September 12, 2009, my wife and I attended a live simulcast from the Royal Albert Hall in London England of The Last Night of the Proms shown at an almost sold out Silvercity Theatre at Tillicum Mall.
There were several solo performances by Alison Balsom on trumpet. Also operatic performance by Sarah Connolly along with a finale by her of Rule Britannia, with her in full Nelson regalia. This was an extremely rousing performance that required a compulsory encore, where the whole audience participated. They showed other simulcast performances in Hyde Park, London, County Down Ireland, Glasgow Green, Scotland and others. The whole show was extremely well done and appeared to be a lot of fun to the audition in attendance. The show ended with a rousing rendition of Land of Hope and Glory and the audition completed the whole performance by singing Auld Lang Syne.
The BBC orchestra, with chorus and choir were conducted with great enthusiasm by the American maestro David Robertson.
This is a not to be missed show, so when it comes to Silver City next year be sure to sure to go, I will.
