The Royal Variety Performance for the first time visited Cardiff at the Wales Millennium Centre, on Cardiff Bay waterfront. It is the most exciting cultural initiative happening in Europe today. Not only a place to see the best in international musicals, opera, ballet and dance, it is also home to seven diverse and exciting cultural organisations. Within the Centre you’ll find the main theatre – the Donald Gordon Theatre.
This year’s Royal Variety Performance has something for everybody – Music, Comedy, Variety and Spectacle. We’re putting artists together in ways never seen before to create unique ‘one night only’ performances which will be remembered for years. I am delighted that Dame Shirley Bassey will be closing what promises to be an unforgettable night of classic entertainment.
The list of artist performing in this years show include Sharon Osbourne, Michael Parkinson, Bradley Walsh, Nigel Harman, Shirley Bassey, Charlotte Church, Katherine Jenkins, Sir Cliff Richard, Catherine Tate, Joe Pasquale, Alan Carr, Will Young, Blueman Group, Skating Willers, Andrea Bocelli, Bryn Terfel, Nicola Benedetti, Andre Portasio, Umbilical Brothers, McFly, Ozzy Osbourne, Caesar Twins, Tomasz Reichelt, Il Divo, Funny Girls, Parker-Urban, Danceoff, Dave Spikey, Urban Strides, Rob Alton, Killa Kela, Guys & Dolls, Laine Theatre Arts, Treorchy Male Voice Choir and the Regimental Band & Drums of the Royal Welsh Regiment.
All the performers have given their services freely to the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund. |
