      About This Event

      With his ‘thrilling vocal heroics’ and ‘magnetic stage presence’, Stuart Skelton is one of the great tenors of his generation, a regular in all the major international opera houses. The Australian singer is joined by charismatic Latvian accordionist Ksenija Sidorova for the climax of the 2021 festival – a musical celebration like no other.

      Folks songs from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have been introduced into the Last Night of the Proms of the last 15 years or so to reflect the truly British nature of the Last Night. As last year, these have been specially recorded at selected venues in the host nations for the TV broadcast.

      There will also be a special screening of the Last Night of the Proms live to the Assembly Festival Garden, Coventry - as part of the Coventry City of Culture celebrations - from the Royal Albert Hall.
