It was a sad day in February 2023 when the world heard that Burt Bacharach had died. Tonight’s tribute includes many of his most famous songs, including ‘Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head’, ‘What The World Needs Now’, ‘Do You Know The Way to San Jose’, ‘Walk on By’, ‘Close to You’… he wrote the kind of tunes that you know without even realising it. They’re the soundtrack to an era – the easiest of easy listening, with an irresistible swing. Tonight, in the stunning surroundings of the Hall, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and an all-star cast of vocalists give them the deluxe treatment.

What The World Needs Now: A Tribute to Burt Bacharach

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic

The name’s Bond – James Bond. When it comes to the high life, nobody does it better. So on this special night, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra puts on its tux, pours itself a Martini and toasts the New Year with some of the sassiest signature tunes in cinematic history. They say diamonds are forever, and as the Orchestra celebrates seven decades of gadgets and supervillains, we see that Bond tunes are every bit as enduring and brilliant. And what’s more, to start the night in style, all tickets include a glass of fizz delivered to your seat – well after all… you only live twice!

New Year’s Eve: Shaken, Not Stirred

Spanning more than fifty years, these chart-toppers have been specially arranged for West End singing stars Jon Boydon and Laura Tebbutt, guest rhythm section and the full forces of the Hallé. The playlist speaks for itself as we move through the years performing floor-filler after floor-filler and hit after hit after hit.
