The Royal Opera hoped to perform their
concert to a live audience. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible, but they still
performed and recorded the concert. It is very beautiful and uplifting. The
Christmas tree from the Royal Ballet’s Nutcracker towers over the
singers and sets a festive scene. I have seen it lots of times, but it is still
awe-inspiring!

Christmas concerts are a great
opportunity to see some of your favourite West End singers. It’s not as good as
seeing them live. There is a good selection of singers and actors here so
there’s a good chance of seeing someone you like. They sing most of the same
Christmas songs as in the other concerts but it’s not their fault there are
only a limited number of good Christmas songs.

Lee Mead did a Crazy Coqs concert a
few weeks ago. It was wonderful and I enjoyed it very much so it was a really
wonderful surprise to find out he was going to do another one. This concert has
a Christmas theme and it’s really lovely. This was my second Christmas concert
of the day and I saw another one the night before, but Mr Mead has a way of
making every song feel new.

This is the last concert in the Out
of the Darkness Into the Spotlight series but it was a really lovely and
happy concert to end on. Hiba Elchikhe and Sejal Keshwala have organised a
really brilliant and interesting series of concerts with so many singers I was
really excited to watch.
Lots of musical theatre stars joined
together to sing Christmas songs and there were even some Christmas poems! I
feel even more excited about Christmas too even though I still feel a little
bit sad because not everyone can enjoy Christmas in the way they want to. I am
very lucky in lots of ways but my cousin is nearly seven months old and I
haven’t met her yet. But that’s something I can look forward to in 2021.
