1:23:22 > 1:23:27Our next act most definitely qualifies for that rare accolade
1:23:27 > 1:23:29of "national treasure".
1:23:29 > 1:23:32She's had a long and hugely successful career in opera
1:23:32 > 1:23:35and musical theatre, a career which brought her,

1:24:27 > 1:24:31# My head's too light to try to set it down
1:24:33 > 1:24:37# Sleep, sleep, I couldn't sleep tonight
1:24:37 > 1:24:43# Not for all the jewels in the crown
1:24:43 > 1:24:46# I could have danced all night
1:24:46 > 1:24:50# I could have danced all night
1:24:50 > 1:24:57# And still have begged for more
1:24:57 > 1:25:00# I could have spread my wings
1:25:00 > 1:25:04# And done a thousand things
1:25:04 > 1:25:10# I've never done before
1:25:10 > 1:25:17# I'll never know what made it so exciting
1:25:17 > 1:25:24# Why all at once my heart took flight
1:25:24 > 1:25:33# I only know when he began to dance with me
1:25:33 > 1:25:41# I could have danced, danced, danced all night

1:26:04 > 1:26:12# And done a thousand things, I've never done before
1:26:13 > 1:26:20# I'll never know what made it so exciting
1:26:20 > 1:26:27# Why all at once my heart took flight
1:26:27 > 1:26:37# I only know when he began to dance with me
1:26:37 > 1:26:52# I could have danced, danced, danced all night. #
1:27:13 > 1:27:16Our next guest stared playing the piano at the age of five
1:27:16 > 1:27:21and by the age of 16 was a winner of the BBC's Young Musician Of The Year award.
1:27:21 > 1:27:24But after that whirlwind start to her career she ended up
1:27:24 > 1:27:26taking quite a long break from public performance.
1:27:26 > 1:27:29But we are delighted that 2016 sees the return to the
1:27:29 > 1:27:31stage for our next performer.
1:27:31 > 1:27:34She is absolutely fabulous, Derry's finest.

1:33:17 > 1:33:20APPLAUSE
1:33:36 > 1:33:39Right, ladies and gentlemen, time to welcome back two of the artists
1:33:39 > 1:33:40we've already heard this evening.
1:33:40 > 1:33:43Yes, they gave us some real classical fireworks earlier on
1:33:43 > 1:33:46and they're about to do the very same again.
1:33:46 > 1:33:49Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back Vladimir and...
1:33:49 > 1:33:50Anton.
1:36:01 > 1:36:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
1:36:18 > 1:36:21This has been a year of significant commemorations,
1:36:21 > 1:36:25not least the anniversary of the Great War Battle of the Somme.
1:36:25 > 1:36:31Yes, on 1 July 1916, almost 20,000 men died in possibly
1:36:31 > 1:36:34the worst day in British military history.
1:36:34 > 1:36:38The battle would eventually go on to claim 1.5 million lives.
1:36:38 > 1:36:41The 36th Ulster Division was one of the first over the top on that
1:36:41 > 1:36:44July day and at the end of that first day,
1:36:44 > 1:36:48more than 5,000 men were dead, missing or wounded.
1:36:48 > 1:36:51Communities right across the island were plunged into mourning.
1:36:51 > 1:36:55Tonight, we pay tribute to the fallen, some just mere boys,
1:36:55 > 1:36:58who still lie in those fields in northern France.
1:36:58 > 1:37:01This is Codetta with Eric Whitacre's
1:37:01 > 1:37:03hauntingly beautiful Sleep.
1:37:09 > 1:37:20# The evening hangs beneath the moon
1:37:24 > 1:37:38# A silver thread on darkened dune
1:37:40 > 1:37:53# With closing eyes and resting head
1:37:53 > 1:38:08# I know that sleep is coming soon
1:38:10 > 1:38:23# Upon my pillow, safe in bed
1:38:25 > 1:38:33# A thousand pictures fill my head
1:38:38 > 1:38:48# I cannot sleep, my mind's a flight
1:38:48 > 1:39:04# And yet my limbs seem made of lead
1:39:06 > 1:39:22# If there are noises in the night
1:39:24 > 1:39:37# A frighting shadow, flickering light
1:39:40 > 1:39:53# Then I surrender unto sleep
1:39:54 > 1:40:13# Where clouds of dreams give second sight
1:40:15 > 1:40:27# What dreams may come, both dark and deep
1:40:29 > 1:40:40# Of flying wings and soaring leap
1:40:42 > 1:40:52# As I surrender unto sleep
1:40:54 > 1:41:02# As I surrender unto sleep
1:41:04 > 1:41:12# As I surrender unto sleep
1:41:20 > 1:41:28# Sleep
1:41:35 > 1:41:40# Sleep
1:41:41 > 1:41:45# Sleep
1:41:46 > 1:41:50# Sleep
1:41:50 > 1:41:55# Sleep
1:41:55 > 1:41:59# Sleep
1:42:01 > 1:42:07# Sleep
1:42:08 > 1:42:13# Sleep
1:42:15 > 1:42:19# Sleep
1:42:21 > 1:42:24# Sleep
1:42:26 > 1:42:30# Sleep
1:42:33 > 1:42:38# Sleep
1:42:39 > 1:42:43# Sleep
1:42:45 > 1:42:49# Sleep
1:42:51 > 1:42:55# Sleep
1:42:57 > 1:43:10# Sleep. #
1:43:10 > 1:43:12APPLAUSE
1:47:24 > 1:47:26APPLAUSE
1:47:37 > 1:47:42OK. Our next artist holds the record playing the lead
1:47:42 > 1:47:45in Andrew Lloyd Webber's the Phantom of the Opera in the West End.
1:47:45 > 1:47:49He has played the Phantom something like 2,000 times
1:47:49 > 1:47:52and he's here to sing some of that great music for us tonight.
1:47:52 > 1:47:56Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for John Owen-Jones.
1:48:03 > 1:48:04Having a good time?
1:48:06 > 1:48:09That's great, cos there's another 11 hours left.
1:48:10 > 1:48:12Are you ready to dance?
1:48:14 > 1:48:17Unfortunately, this song, you can't dance to.
1:48:17 > 1:48:19This is Music Of The Night.
1:48:31 > 1:48:40# Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation
1:48:41 > 1:48:50# Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
1:48:50 > 1:49:02# Silently, the senses abandon their defences
1:49:16 > 1:49:25# Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
1:49:27 > 1:49:35# Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
1:49:36 > 1:49:44# Turn your face away from the garish light of day
1:49:44 > 1:49:53# Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light
1:49:53 > 1:50:00# And listen to the music of the night
1:50:01 > 1:50:09# Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
1:50:09 > 1:50:18# Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
1:50:18 > 1:50:34# Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
1:50:35 > 1:50:45# And you'll live as you've never lived before
1:50:47 > 1:50:55# Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
1:50:56 > 1:51:05# Hear it, feel it secretly possess you
1:51:05 > 1:51:12# Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
1:51:12 > 1:51:20# In this darkness that you know you cannot fight
1:51:20 > 1:51:27# The darkness of the music of the night
1:51:29 > 1:51:36# Let your mind start to journey to a strange new world
1:51:36 > 1:51:42# Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
1:51:43 > 1:51:55# Let your soul take you where you long to be
1:51:59 > 1:52:13# Only then can you belong to me
1:52:15 > 1:52:24# Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
1:52:26 > 1:52:34# Touch me, trust me savour each sensation
1:52:35 > 1:52:43# Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
1:52:43 > 1:52:51# To the power of the music that I write
1:52:51 > 1:53:02# The power of the music of the night
1:53:25 > 1:53:33# You alone can make my song take flight
1:53:36 > 1:53:55# Help me make the music of the night. #
1:54:06 > 1:54:08APPLAUSE
1:54:13 > 1:54:14Thank you.
1:54:25 > 1:54:29Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back the divine Ms Lesley Garrett.
1:54:56 > 1:55:00# No more talk of darkness
1:55:00 > 1:55:03# Forget these wide-eyed fears
1:55:03 > 1:55:07# I'm here, nothing can harm you
1:55:07 > 1:55:12# My words will warm and calm you
1:55:12 > 1:55:15# Let me be your freedom
1:55:15 > 1:55:19# Let daylight dry your tears
1:55:19 > 1:55:23# I'm here, with you, beside you
1:55:23 > 1:55:27# To guard you and to guide you
1:55:27 > 1:55:36# Say you'll love me every waking moment
1:55:36 > 1:55:44# Turn my head with talk of summer time
1:55:44 > 1:55:52# Say you need me with you now and always
1:55:52 > 1:56:00# Promise me that all you say is true
1:56:00 > 1:56:07# That's all I ask of you
1:56:07 > 1:56:10# Let me be your shelter
1:56:10 > 1:56:13# Let me be your light
1:56:13 > 1:56:17# You're safe, no-one will find you
1:56:17 > 1:56:21# Your fears are far behind you
1:56:21 > 1:56:24# All I want is freedom
1:56:24 > 1:56:28# A world with no more night
1:56:28 > 1:56:32# And you, always beside me
1:56:32 > 1:56:36# To hold me and to hide me
1:56:36 > 1:56:44# Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
1:56:44 > 1:56:52# Let me lead you from your solitude
1:56:52 > 1:57:01# Share each day with me, each night, each morning
1:57:01 > 1:57:08# Anywhere you go, let me go, too
1:57:08 > 1:57:13# Lesley, that's all I ask of you
1:57:13 > 1:57:21# Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
1:57:21 > 1:57:30# Say the word and I will follow you
1:57:30 > 1:57:38# Share each day with me, each night, each morning
1:57:38 > 1:57:41# Say you love me

1:59:22 > 1:59:25Wonderful.
1:59:25 > 1:59:27We'd like to finish now with one of my very favourite
1:59:27 > 1:59:30pieces of film music.
1:59:30 > 1:59:34This is from Moulin Rouge and it involves the wonderful choir here
1:59:34 > 1:59:36and it's called Come What May.
