Review: Night of the Proms Rotterdam 2009-11-21 14:52:00
“Last night saw the first of a run of seven concerts in the Ahoy, Rotterdam. A sell out crowd were full of enthusiasm and excitement as the lights dimmed and life stirred on stage. The atmosphere was electric and the crowd applauded wildly as the orchestra began its nights work starting with a spectacular overture accompanied by a dazzling light display.”

With a name like Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark you sooner or later have to appear on Night of the Proms. Still, it lasted until 2006 before singer Andy MacCluskey and keyboardist Paul Humphreys for the first time accompanied by a symphony orchestra played their music. This happened on Night of the Proms in Germany. This year, you can see and hear them in Antwerp, Rotterdam and Arnhem.

ROXETTE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON STAGE AGAIN AT NIGHT OF THE PROMS
Seven years after the cancellation for health reasons, Night of the Proms is billing Roxette for the ‘classic meets pop’ event again. A world first! The Swedish duo, which was creating a furore in the nineties, came at an involuntary standstill in 2002, year in which singer Marie was successfully treated for a brain tumour.
Roxette is made up of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle, two Swedish artists, each of whom were busy establishing a career when, in 1986, they decided to make music together. Per’s songs combined with Marie’s voice … it could not be anything but a perfect match! And the dream came true. At the end of the 1980s, Roxette made their worldwide breakthrough with iconic pop songs and catchy power ballads, all of which found their way to the top of the charts in no time at all.
