Performance NotesLondon duo Goldfrapp will return to the Royal Albert Hall for a special one-off show with the London Contemporary Orchestra.

The show will see the 20-piece orchestra and choir join Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory to perform their sixth studio album, 2013's Tales of Us, in its entirety, as well as a selection of other Goldfrapp favourites.

A sumptuous body of work, Tales Of Us was two years in the crafting and is their most narrative, cinematic and intimate recording so far. All the album’s songs, bar the haunting Stranger, are named in the first person with a cast list of evocative character sketches.

Support at this concert will come from singer-songwriter Mara Carlyle.
