John Rutter's Christmas Celebration - Evening

Back by popular demand, John Rutter’s Christmas Celebration returns to the Royal Albert Hall in 2024 for another festive extravaganza, conducted by Sir John Rutter himself.

The perfect way to get your seasonal celebrations underway, this special concert will feature soloist Nicky Spence OBE and two choirs performing favourites such as Sleigh Ride, Ding dong! Merrily on high, Star Carol, Frosty the Snowman, O holy night, Away in a Manger, I saw three ships and extracts from Handel's Messiah, all alongside a selection of audience carols that are sure to raise the roof of the Royal Albert Hall.

We are pleased to present two performances of this much-loved annual concert on Thursday 5 December 2024 at 3pm and 7.30pm.

There is also a matinee performance at 3pm.

  This event will have a BSL (British Sign Language) interpreter throughout who will be positioned to the left of the stage.
