The spotlight was very much on the man with one of the most sensational singing voices the classical world has ever known. Accompanied by the 48 - piece National Symphony Orchestra, led by Lizzie Ball with conductor Robert Emery, the Capital Voices and an 80 - strong backing choir. What a magical sight and what a magnificent sound! Russell made an emotional opening to his fans: "I built myself up to this moment from the very day that I finished my last session of radiotherapy. I remember dreaming about this night in the most famous of venues and here I am, thank God - I can't believe it". Russell's faultless performance starts with a powerful rendition of 'Somewhere' and 'Ave Maria' and is followed by a string of incredible numbers such as 'Funiculi Funicula' and 'Volare' and closes with a Royal Albert Hall roof-raising 'Nessun Dorma'.
