Fantasia Live in Concert, The Royal Albert Hall, London. October 2017.
Delayed gratification appears to be a thing in our family as this was actually my nephew's birthday present and he's waited patiently since June for this to come around!
My sister and I saw a previous version of this back in 2012 and so knew we were in for a treat and it didn't disappoint. Wonderful music and scenes from these beautiful films - what more can you ask for.
Once more the responses from the audience added to the magic and I think pretty much the whole Albert Hall jumped at the volcano in the scene set to Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. It wasn't until afterwards that we realised how different to before this show was - with over half the programme coming from the newer Fantasia 2000 film.
My personal favourites were all included and so I was very happy, and from the applause I think that my nephew, sister & husband felt the same! For me there really is something special about live music and live music in the splendour of the Royal Albert Hall is even more special!
Our only small quibble with the experience is that there was no programme and we do all really like one of these as a souvenir.
