An Evening with Ivor Novello
A tribute to the music of Ivor Novello. Narrated by Simon Callow on stage, with Sir Mark Elder conducting the Halle, and soloists Toby Spence and Sophie Bevan.
In the 1930s, Ivor Novello wrote a string of musicals that saved Drury Lane from closure and kept the cash tills ringing throughout the 40s and early 50s. This Prom features time-honoured favourites, such as We'll Gather Lilacs, in a tribute to Novello - playwright, composer, actor and silent movie star. Narrated by Simon Callow on stage, with Sir Mark Elder conducting the Hall茅, and soloists Toby Spence and Sophie Bevan.
