The concert series celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2013 and has established a loyal audience of people who enjoy the concerts so much they return again and again!
Building on this success, Classical Spectacular has now been performed in concert halls and stadiums all across the world, including Berlin, Hamburg and Munich in Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, France, Australia, Belgium, Austria, Ireland and Holland!
From the very best classical music and state-of-the-art technology to electrifying multi-coloured laser displays and our famous thundering finale to the music of the 1812 Overture – the March 2016 season promises to be bigger and more thrilling than ever.
The concert is packed with classical favourites that we all know and love, including Ravel's Bolero, Khachaturian's Sabre Dance, the William Tell Overture by Rossini and the wedding favourite, Pachelbel's Canon.
Classical Spectacular concludes with a rousing flag waving finale of Proms favourites such as Nessun Dorma, Rule, Britannia, Land of Hope and Glory and the magnificent 1812 Overture complete with thundering cannons and indoor fireworks.
Completing the line-up of over 200 musicians are the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – one of the most acclaimed orchestras in the United Kingdom, the Royal Choral Society (Thurs & Sat), the London Chorus (Fri & Sun), the Band of the Grenadier Guards (Thurs & Friday) and the Band of the Household Cavalry (Sat & Sun).
Overseeing all these performers is conductor John Rigby who has led the orchestra on many leading West End shows, including The Phantom of the Opera.
