The most iconic concert hall in the world celebrates 150 years with
a stunning review of history's finest performances and performers.
Opening with a personal letter from Queen Elizabeth II, this
beautiful book celebrates 150 moments that have shaped The Royal
Albert Hall over the last century and a half. From The Beatles to
the Suffragettes, Albert Einstein to Winston Churchill, Mohammed
Ali to B.B. King, few other buildings have housed such a stunning
variety of era-defining people and events. This gorgeous,
illustrated guide takes you behind the scenes of one of the most
well-loved concert halls in the world, offering insights into the
building's iconic architecture, as well as its lesser-known quirks
such as the reinforced toilets designed for Sumo wrestlers. This
book features events ranging from the world's first sci-fi
convention in 1891 to the annual Cirque du Soleil, which requires
the auditorium to be transformed into a gymnasium. Autographs and
candid comments from incredible performers who have appeared on its
stage, like Russell Howard, Eric Clapton and Katie Derham, give a
unique insider's perspective on an esteemed and beloved British
institution. With never-before-seen images, insights and more, this
is the ultimate celebration of a British architectural icon which
continues to inspire artists and audiences from around the world.
