NOTP Countdown: Marie & Per on the first rehearsal

Oct 22

Posted by Tomasz in Night of the Proms, Roxette, Tour | 23 Comments

According to Maurice from Insidenotp.blogg.org:

Marie seems to feel more comfortable when she can sing “in force” (“The Look”, “Joyride”). As a solist on the ballads, she seems a little timide.

Maurice thinks that with the support of the fans she will feel more at ease. Per was impeccable, even if he didn’t go to the bottom. He also notes that for the interventions of Roxette, the Electric Band is replaced by the Rox band.

Thanks to Project_Z.

Dear RoxetteBlog.com Readers,

We would like to ask all of you, who will attend Night of the Proms concerts, to write your own reports from each and every gig that you will see. It does not have to be the perfect English – it just should convey your emotions, thoughts, your impressions and some interesting things you will see while your concert(s). Your own pictures and clips will be highly appreciated!

So, if you (or friends of yours) are interested in submitting such stories, so let us now at office@roxetteblog.com or on our Twitter.

Each story will be posted on our blog.

You can be such a good reporter – and get your big editorial dream fullfilled on RoxetteBlog.com :)

Thanks!

Sarahdenrara at R2R forum informs us, that there is also a blog in French/Dutch from one of the singers of the choir called Maurice (it is his nickname): http://insidenotp.blogg.org/

He writes today that he thinks Per is really into it and happy to be there, Marie too even if she seems a bit fragile. He adds that you have to keep in mind that artists never give a 100% during rehearsals.

Proms producer Jan Vereecke comments the day on his blog:

To everyone’s joy, the latest rehearsals this afternoon with Roxette have been completed sooner as anticipated. This evening all foreign guest artists will enjoy a cosy dinner in a restaurant near the hotel. Extensive soundchecks on the big stage are scheduled for tomorrow afternoon and a first real show rehearsal later on the evening.

Oct 19

Posted by Sascha in Night of the Proms, Roxette, Tour | 3 Comments

Night of the Proms logoAs ‘Night of the Proms’ producer Jan Vereecke tells on his blog, Roxette just enjoyed the orchestra ‘Il Novecento’ playing their repertoire. Now they use recordings of the orchestra to rehearse along to that. Tomorrow afternoon Roxette will finally play live together with the orchestra!

Edit October 20: Per comments on twitter:

Fantastic to hear Chris & Claire’s orchestra arrangements to our songs. More than 100 people playing and singing. Let’s find a new religion.

First rehearsal with the whole orchestra & choir today. Feel like David Gilmour.
