Our Christmas Orchestral Adventure at the Royal Albert Hall

Bonjour lecteurs! Do you have any Christmas traditions as a family? A day out you have each year? A show you always go and see? Or even a movie you religiously watch? We have always kept it quite simple so far. Santa’s Grotto was our way to do it. But this year, we were lucky to be invited to the fabulous Christmas Orchestral Adventure at the Royal Albert Hall. And let me tell you, this is something I want to do each year!

Our Christmas Orchestral Adventure

Christmas has begun for sure at the Royal Albert Hall. And we might have found a new family tradition to enjoy πŸ™‚

The show is calling all Santa’ little helpers out there! Albert’s Orchestra were back this year again for you to enjoy some classical music with all the family.

L’histoire was really sweet for the occasion. Indeed, Father Christmas has lost his map on a practice run of his delivery route… Oh, non!

So you need to help him to get it back to be ready for the big day!

Well, the Christmas Orchestral Adventure should be on your list for next year!

The show is fun and engaging. We were among a really excited audience taking part in some musical and singing challenges and we had such a lovely time!

The symphony orchestra brought us into a festive world of adventures.

Featuring a bear, some Christmas jumpers (they had to!) and lots of lovely Christmas tunes, the show was pure magic.

We danced, we clapped and enjoyed the view from the circle. We even went on a bear hunt!!! If that is not mega fun, what is it?

The conductor and his team did a great job of getting the public to take part and I saw many little ones’ faces with sparkles in their eyes.

Baba was well into it. No need to say that he had a blast!

After nearly 2 hours of fun and giggles, while singing along with the crowd (very badly in my case!), we left the concert hall with smiles on our faces. And ready to enjoy Christmas next week!

Christmas Orchestral Adventure – Le Verdict

I have been to many ‘grown-up’ shows at the Royal Albert Hall and it was always a great experience. The hall is always stunning, and it was clearly Christmas ready for the occasion.
