However, for true magic none can best the way in which Birmingham Royal Ballet's The Nutcracker transforms the Royal Albert Hall's unwieldy, cavernous , proscenium-free space into a dreamy, immersive wintry landscape, thanks to an inspired series of projections by 59 Productions. Drenching the backdrop and sides of the stage with colour and imagery, it creates warm homely interiors, then a giant Christmas tree that gives way to chilly, starlit skies.

Attendees at the Grand Sumo Tournament have been warned about the dangers of falling wrestlers if they get too close to the ring at the five-day event. Organisers have also warned that sand could fly out from the stage as the athletes compete to push their opponent out of the ring. More than 40 Japanese sumo wrestlers, also known as maku-uchi rikishi, will take part in the tournament in west London.

A 40th anniversary concert of Les Misérables will be returning to the Royal Albert Hall next year, the same venue as their original 10th anniversary concert. It'll also mark the show's first return to the Royal Albert Hall since that original concert concept was created. What is now known as the "Arena Concert Spectacular" was developed from the Staged Concert, which played for over 200 performances in the West End and the 25th Anniversary performance at The O2.

As an impatient slow-clap echoes around west London's iconic Royal Albert Hall the star is running 45 minutes late a seemingly nonplussed Nicole Scherzinger suddenly appears in spotlight, drenched in sparkly diamonds. Having built a career out of overcoming obstacles breaking out of the shackles of both a girlband (the 55m-selling Pussycat Dolls) and various TV talent show judging panels a little polite animosity isn't going to rain on her parade.

Roger Cauthery expressed his feelings of humiliation at being denied entry to the Royal Albert Hall due to his Palestine flag pin, stating that he was merely showing solidarity.
