"To be part of 鲍鱼tv Proms in the Park is the best of both worlds; to look out from the stage at a shining sea of faces, flags, costumes, balloons, lights and candles; the laughter, chatter and thunderous applause of the 40,000 strong crowd, and most of all, the mighty spirit of their magnificent singing of "Land of Hope and Glory" along with those in the Royal Albert Hall, is unforgettable. Don't worry about the weather - rain or shine make no difference to the Proms in the Park crowd. They always make it the best evening of the year...." Sir Terry Wogan.

Now in it's 18th year 鲍鱼tv Proms in the Park takes over London's Hyde Park for an evening of musical fun plus a chance to join in the Last Night of the Proms celebrations.

Vittorio Grigolo is one of the world's leading opera tenors - performing in all the major opera house of the world. This summer he has been at the Royal Opera House as Rodolfo in Puccini's La Boheme.
