Today, the Last Night of the Proms is the most celebrated and ends a summer series of concerts.
Millions around the globe watch it on television. People queue for hours for prime standing room and add to the magical atmosphere by dressing-up and waving flags.
A Night at the Proms promises all the fanfare — and it won't just be Elgar providing Pomp and Circumstance.
Internationally acclaimed Anna Hawkins returns to warm hearts.
Characterised by her expressive vocals and moving interpretations, the New Zealand songstress is well-known to Kiwi audiences.
A regular at festivals and major events, she has toured the country twice and recorded with world-class musicians, orchestras and producers in Poland, London and Israel as well as New Zealand creating three unique full-length albums.
Special guests — the Pearly Queen, and Major Blunder and the Fifth Waikato Dragoons — will satisfy the comical side of the Proms.
English-themed food trucks will be on site, and concert-goers are encouraged to dress up, wear the colours and wave the flags.
With plenty of opportunity to sing along to all the songs you love, the Hamilton Gardens will be bursting with spirit.
There are only 500 tickets available for this special event.
It is expected that the night will sell out so early bookings are recommended.
A Night at the Proms, conducted by Rupert D'Cruze, has the one performance on Saturday 17 November at 7.30 pm.
Ticketing is available at here and starts at $20. One child per adult admitted free in B and C reserve.
