To help us get in the Christmas Spirit, I got tickets for Tony and me to go to the BT Christmas Spectacular at Albert Hall. The promise in the advertisements was that there would be all manner of Christmas music including Choral, Orchestral, a Scottish Military Brass Section, and a Steel Drum Band. They also promised that there would be fireworks. . . IN THE HALL! It promised to be a Christmas Spectacular, Spectacular!
First, Albert Hall is Stunning. It is a magnificent venue, and a treasure for the British people. I hope to see something again there soon.
I spluged a bit, and got us box seats. Not in the uber primo box seats, on the "Grand Tier", but just above it in the "Secondary Tier". In fact, we ended up in the box just above the Royal Box. 
The box was spectacular, and included a small antechamber through a curtain behind the seats, where, if we had brought alcohol, we could have set up a small bar. There was also an area there for hanging coats and scarves.
Just prior to the show, the usher came by and closed the door to the box from the outer hallway. So european!
