The Night Of 1000 Voices
has thrilled capacity audiences at The Royal Albert Hall since 1999. The Night of 1000 Voices was originally produced as the centenary celebration for The National Opera and Dramatic Association with 1000 members of NODA singing songs from the shows.

Each year subsequently, an audience has thrilled to the sight and sound of the huge The Night of 1000 Voices massed choir from around the British Isles, seventy five children and young artistes from the Sylvia Young Theatre School and The City of London Philharmonic (HEY, MR PRODUCER! and SONDHEIM TONIGHT) who accompany some very special stars from London, New York and Europe in a musical night to remember.

Every year a musical great or an aspect of musical theatre is chosen to be celebrated - these have included The Broadway Musical, Cy Coleman, Stephen Sondheim, Tim Rice and Trevor Nunn.

In 2006, for the first time and as a tribute to Caron Keating and Gloria Hunniford, The Night of 1000 Voices performed to a capacity audience in the 8,000-seat Odyssey Arena.

Special guests who have performed in The Night of 1000 Voices include Michael Ball, Graham Bickley, Alan Campbell, Len Cariou, Glenn Close, Cy Coleman, Peter Corry, Michael Crawford, Anthony Crivello, David Essex, Maria Friedman, James Galway, Tiffany Graves, Joel Grey, Roy Hudd, Gloria Hunniford, Kelli James, Alex Jennings, John Kander, Howard Keel, Laura Michelle Kelly, Lauren Kennedy, Judy Kuhn, Annette McLaughlin, Alan Menken, Roger Moore, Caroline O’Connor, Elaine Paige, Jerome Pradon, Philip Quast, Tim Rice, Cliff Richard, Yngve Gasoy Romdal, Claire Sweeney, Rebecca Thornhill, Sally Ann Triplett, Colm Wilkinson and Riverdance.

Money has been raised for The Alan Jay Lerner Fund for Cancer Research at the Royal Marsden Hospital, The Caron Keating Foundation, The Missing Person's Helpline, The Lord's Taverners, ADDISS, The National Autistic Society and Variety Club Children's Charity.
