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.

The Royal Albert Hall is one of the UK's most treasured and distinctive buildings, recognisable the world over. Since its opening by Queen Victoria in 1871, the world's leading artists from every kind of performance genre have appeared on its stage. Each year it hosts more than 350 performances including classical concerts, rock and pop, ballet and opera, tennis, award ceremonies, school and community events, charity performances and lavish banquets.

The Hall was originally supposed to have been called The Central Hall of Arts and Sciences, but the name was changed by Queen Victoria to Royal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences when laying the foundation stone as a dedication to her husband and consort, Prince Albert. It forms the practical part of a national memorial to the Prince Consort - the decorative part is the Albert Memorial directly to the north in Kensington Gardens, now separated from the Hall by the heavy traffic along Kensington Gore. The Hall also accommodates the second largest pipe organ in the UK (Liverpool Cathedral regains the title with the addition of the Central organ), and is the home of The Proms.

 

The Hall has also been used for concerts by a wide range of popular artistes:

Ok people, I invite you to read the title of the thread again and stop hijacking it to ask Mika to go to other places:sneaky2:

[CazGirl]

Royal Albert Hall is a good venue, i've danced on it a few times, and it's round as well which means pretty much everyone has a great view. I love the idea - well done Sariflor!

[Jazzy]

I gasped when I read the title of this thread. Dammit.

 

It would be absolutely fantastic. I'm seeing Mark Knopfler there in May and it's a really really cool venue. Only thing is, it's a seated venue and you can't really sit at a Mika gig. Although maybe if it was acoustic it'd be a different sort of atmosphere.

 

Either way, yes please thanks very much.

[sparkly1]

OOOoooooOOO I WISH it was true, I was really and happy when I read the thread title then all sad when I realized it wasn't real...YET (mwahahaha).

 

Bumblebee_Vix n I are going there in May to see Idina Menzel (Vix's heroine), she was the 1st Elphaba in "Wicked" (for those who haven't seen my "Wicked" thread lol. Vix has also danced there with her dancing school a few years ago.

I was very naughty and recorded it lol, it's on her utube account.:naughty:

MIKA DO IT AND MAKE AN OLD WOMAN VERY HAPPY

(oh and all your other fans too lol).

[sparkly1]

Vix says the dressing rooms are crap so that might put him off :naughty:

[sparkly1]

Maybe we shouuld just organise it for him...call the venue and book it all, and then he can't say no:roftl:
