Last Night of the Proms is based on the final concert of London's BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall. These days, the Prom concerts have become just as much a staple of Queensland tradition but with a delightfully Aussie tongue-in-cheek twist. Light-hearted and fun, our persuasive, impassioned Italian Maestro Giovanni Reggioli leads the QSO and the Brisbane Chorale in a joyful celebration of Verdi and Wagner's 200th anniversaries with the internationally renowned, British-based baritone David Wakeham returning home as soloist. Patriotic marches, sea shanties, Parry's Jerusalem and Arne's Rule Britannia are all on this heart-warming program of perennial classics. Hear Lloyd's beautiful yet rarely heard lyrical Concerto with QSO's Principal cellist David Lale as soloist. Come dressed in red, white and blue, enjoy this flag-waving, musical fun and sing along in a majestic blast of Land of Hope and Glory.
