Monday’s Coronation Concert will feature Take That, Lionel Richie and Katy Perry as well as an appearance by Brighton’s Actually Gay Men’s Chorus and The Pink Singers, London’s LGBT+ community choir.
20,000 people will attend the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle. Chanel 7 Australia will host a delayed telecast at 7.30 pm AEST Monday night.
Other performers include bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, pianist Lang Lang, Andrea Bocelli, Paloma Faith and former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.
Tom Cruise, Joan Collins, Bear Grylls and Tom Jones will appear in pre-recorded video sketches. They will apparently recite little-known facts about the monarch. (You can bet your tiara there’ll be no mention of Diana.)
Additionally, the Royal Ballet, Royal Opera, Royal Shakespeare Company, Royal College of Music and Royal College of Art combine to present a spectacular one-off performance.
Coronation Choir
The 300-voice Coronation Choir combines chorists from 18 community and amateur choirs in a special ensemble for the Coronation Concert. Concert organisers chose refugee, NHS, LGBTQ+ and deaf-signing choirs for the ensemble after a nationwide search earlier this year.
Brighton’s Actually Gay Men’s Chorus and London’s The Pink Singers will both participate.
Sadly, despite exploiting queer musical groups to burnish his progressive credentials, King Charles III has never yet made a single comment on queer issues.
