About this event
Epic favourites from the classical world meet lights and lasers in a magnificent show that captures all the power and emotion of the music. The opening fanfare of Strauss’ Also sprach Zarathustra, made famous by its use in 2001: A Space Odyssey, never fails to thrill. ‘Jupiter’ from Holst’s The Planets is subtitled ‘the bringer of jollity’, and the high energy and playful rhythms of the opening lead into a grand, rousing theme that sends the heart soaring. More beloved works including Verdi’s ‘La donna è mobile’, Elgar’s ‘Nimrod’ and Ravel’s ‘Boléro’ are brought to vivid life. The night also features all of your Prom favourites, including Puccini’s triumphant ‘Nessun dorma’ and Elgar’s ‘Land of hope and glory’.
