Royal Albert Hall
The Royal Albert Hall is an arts venue situated in the Knightsbridge area of the City of Westminster, London, England, best known for holding the annual summer Proms concerts since 1941. As the best known building within the cultural complex known as Albertopolis. The Hall is commonly and erroneously thought to lie within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The Hall is actually within the area of the City of Westminster, although the postal address is Kensington Gore. The site was part of the former Kensington Gore estate which was historically part of Knightsbridge.Reviews or Comments (4) See all»

The Spring Proms sounds like a daunting title, and to someone who has never so much seen an orchestra live before, let alone attended anything promish it was delightfully surprising by how enjoyable it was. The Royal Philamonic Orchestra, led by conductor David Arnold, was the most amazing thing about the show. The sheer depth of sound reverberating around the Royal Albert Hall would be enough to move even those made of wood. Their interpretation of Summer, from Vivaldis Four Seasons was all the more incredible because it was recognisable. Beethovens Ode to Joy became a joint venture with Royal Choral Society and had the entire audiences attention. There were two over head monitors surrounding the musicians that displayed images of animals, as the event was giving money away from raffles to WWF. It was easy to become distracted from the music when the big screens and it felt like the proms were being dumbed down a little, and hindered rather than extended your enjoyment of the music. Alex Stobbs, the 18 year old boy - who has become a media interest (with a Channel 4 programme documenting his life as a musical genius, living with Cystic Fibrosis, a hereditary disease that affects mainly the the lungs and the liver), displayed just that, when he played a piece from the Mozart Piano Concerto. But it seemed that whenever you longed to hear more of something, you were very quickly distracted by the next piece of music. The Welsh National Opera star Wynne Evans, blew us all away (literally, his lungs were THAT powerful) by singing Puccinis Nessun Dorma, as a tribute to the late Pavarotti and confirmed to this opera virgin that you either love or hate it opera, and I LOVED it. Pipe Major Jim Motherwell, the 10th Personal Piper to HM Queen Elizabeth II, who played with the Eton College Pipers was not amongst my favourite things. I felt that the night took a turn for the commercial worst when they played Bryan Adams Everything I do, contrasting with the beautiful sounds of the orchestra. The sound of the bagpipe is harsh and not something to be desired by my ears. Each of the audience were given a Union Jack flag, which unbeknownst to me, you are supposed to wave when everyone drunkenly sings Rule Britannia at the end of the night. The night concluded in a bang of glitter and streamers as everyone was feeling very drunk and British. A perfect way to end a rather alternative night of fun.

The venue is a fantastic !Howvever I think Gorden Brown has shares in the place as �1:80 FOR BAG OF CRISP AND �2:00 FOR A SMALL BOTTLE OF WATER is an absolute rip off.My advice is get your in house supplies before you go in.The concert was OK but expensive, this is not down to RAH.

The bronze statue of Peter Pan is in Kensington Gardens, next to Hyde Park. The exact location was chosen by Peter Pan's author, J.M. Barrie.
