| Performance Notes | 19 time Grammy Award-winning legend Tony Bennett returns to the Royal Albert Hall as he continues to celebrate his 90th year.
Tony Bennett will perform his greatest hits, including The Best Is Yet to Come, How Do You Keep the Music Playing, I Got Rhythm, The Shadow of Your Smile and the multi-award winning fan favourite, I Left My Heart in San Francisco.
Tony returns to the Hall this summer, after his 2015 appearence with Lady Gaga.
VIP Experience tickets were available for £276 per person, which included a VIP seat in the stalls, pre-show standing reception in the VIP hospitality suite, complimentary drinks and canapes, and a VIP ticket wallet and pass.
"Some of us assumed that we had seen Tony Bennett say farewell to London a good decade ago. Yet here he was again, 90 years old and still swinging...He still has his appetite for a quality song. He could even do a shimmy of two...From t he moment Bennett crusied into Michael Legrand's Watch What Happens, all was right with the world...In a surprise at the encore, he returned to the stage with a white-haired gent in tow. It turned out to be a slightly bemused Dustin Hoffman. Would he be giving us a glimpse of his jazz piano skills? No Such luck. He merely waved and made his exit."
