Viva La Diva tour 2

[gerrit]

Hi All,

At the end of this month, Katherine and Darcey Bussell will embark on their second Viva La Diva tour of the UK. This time it will be the "Arena Tour", as they will perform to much more massive audiences in Arenas (like the London O2 Arena, Manchester MEN Arena etc.) Today, the publicity machine was set in motion, with two interviews, on ITV1 This Morning and on Five News. Full video coverage is now available from Katherine Jenkins International

After the Classical Brits on May 8, I myself will extend my visit to London to take in the Viva La Diva show at the O2 Arena on May 11. I am looking forward to this trip very much!

Hi Everyone,

I went to see 'Viva la Diva' at the MEN Arena in Manchester on Wednesday.

I never saw the show the first time around last year so as this was the first time that I had seen it. The show is absolutely fantastic from start to finish, it was hard to believe that it was 10.30pm when the show finished as the time flew by.

It is so full of energy and although I had an idea of what to expect through reports I have read, it by far exceeded any expectations that I had. I have never really been into dance at all and when I heard about the Uefa Cup Final and the expected 100,000 + Rangers fans last week I started having second thoughts and was content to wait for the DVD, but I am glad that I was persuaded to go ahead and see it. I will definitely go and see it again as I am certain this isn't the last we have seen of Viva la Diva.

I only wish that I was closer to the front, I was quite far back at the side and although I could see everything on stage quite clearly I still found myself glancing up at the screens every now and then for a closer look. Overall though a wonderful show, Katherine and Darcey were absolutely fantastic as were the rest of the cast.

Unfortunatly the night was ruined a little because of the disgraceful scenes caused by Rangers fans on the streets of Manchester afterwards, because of this there was no meet and greet after the show as originally intended but fully understandable in the circumstances, luckily I managed to avoid the worst of it and got out of Manchester safely.
