Last Night of the Proms - Part Two

The ±«Óãtv Proms 2017 comes to a close with the ±«Óãtv Symphony Orchestra and conductor Sakari Oramo leading proceedings live from London's Royal Albert Hall.

The Last Night of the Proms celebrations continue live from the Royal Albert Hall in London. John Adams's seventieth birthday is marked with the London premiere of his exhilarating Lola Montez Does the Spider Dance, and solo star soprano Nina Stemme performs Weill's Surabaya Johnny and The Saga of Jenny, followed by Gershwin's The Lorelei.

The programme takes a trip around the UK with Henry Wood's Fantasia on British Sea Songs, with contributions from the Proms in the Park events in Swansea, Glasgow and Belfast, before the ±«Óãtv Proms 2017 is brought to a rousing close with Rule Britannia, Land of Hope and Glory and Jerusalem.

The ±«Óãtv Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and ±«Óãtv Singers are conducted by Sakari Oramo. Presented by Katie Derham.
