Aida Night of the Proms with Jupiter Jones, Remy van Kesteren, Naturally 7, Anastacia, John Miles, Mick Hucknall

Classic meets Pop! That’s the motto of the Night of the Proms (NOTP) since 1994, when the first event of that kind was taking place in Dortmund. The 75 head grasping classic orchestra Il Novecento plays the classics and accompanies, together with the Electric Band, the Pop stars. And those stars were extraordinary also for this year’s edition with ANASTACIA or MICK HUCKNALL among others. Orchestra, band, choir, backing singers and stars together with an extraordinary light show delivered once more an extraordinary concert evening where popular music from 300 years of musical history were presented. http://www.notp.com/deutschland
