Last Wednesday I have been to the Night of the Proms in the Ahoy Rotterdam. This year it was extreme good again.
Personally for me the performance was the one of Sharon den Adel, but I realize that I am here maybe a bit prejudiced, because I really like the band Within Temptation of who she the singer is. All the special effects and the dancers took so much away from my attention that I just realized on very last moment that Sharon was already on the stage.
But I heard from more people that her performance was very good.
But there were more great artists as Orchestra on Maneuvers in the Dark, Roxette and Toots Thieleman. And as always II Novecentro was there as orchestra again.
I have a big respect for Marie Fredriksson, the singer of Roxette. She has been many years away from the stage because of very serious health problems. You could easily see that this all took a lot from her. The more it was great to see her there.
After the performance of Roxette Per Gessle, their guitarist, did throw his plectrum into the audience. I did feel it hit my arm, but before I could act it was already fallen to the ground. It was really too dark to see it laying on the ground. So after the concert I waited until the lights were on again. And I did find the plectrum. A very nice remembrance to this concert.
I really liked the extra special effects they had this year with fire and fireworks. There were moments I feared for my mustache 🙂
Looking forward for The Night of the Proms in Germany next December. Alan Parsons will be there among others!
Great that you had such a wonderful time, Rob.
I have been here to an country concert, but I have to say that it isn’t really my thing.
Dortmund here we come. (hopefully the police stays home this time 🙂 )
Yes, lets hope that. I really felt bad about the policy thingy, so I was happy to pay a part of the ticket.
