Katie Derham hosts the climax of the world’s greatest classical music festival, the Last Night of the Proms, live from the Royal Albert Hall, drawing a unique season of live performances to a celebratory close. Soprano Golda Schultz and violinist Lisa Batiashvili join Dalia Stasevska, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Singers in a programme that includes music from Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro, a world premiere from Andrea Tarrodi, music by Richard Strauss, treats from Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music, and The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams. The night comes to a jubilant close with all the traditional Last Night favourites including the Fantasia on British Sea-Songs; You’ll Never Walk Alone; Rule, Britannia; Pomp and Circumstance March No.1; and Jerusalem.
