The Last Night of the Proms

Overview

For the whole of the second half of the concert, a giant screen and video link joins the audience in the Royal Albert Hall with thousands of people gathered in Hyde Park. Opening with Glinka's Overture Ruslan and Ludmilla and Malcolm Arnold's The Sound Barrier, the concert continues with Offenbach's Barcarolle from The Tales of Hoffman and Ah! Que J'aime les Militaires from The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein. Then, after Le Spectre de la Rose from Les Nuits d'Eté by Berlioz and Puccini's Flower Duet from Madam Butterfly, comes the traditional last night finale- Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 in D, Sir Henry Wood 's Fantasia on British Sea Songs, Arne's Rule, Britannia! and Elgar's orchestration of Parry's Jerusalem.
