Andrew Lloyd Webber made a return to the newly refurbished Theatre Royal Drury Lane to record an album with an 81-piece orchestra.
The session late last week was the first time the West End theatre had been used for live performance in more than two years – since the theatre impresario, who owns and manages the space through his LW Theatres company, begun the £60 million restoration.
Conducted by Simon Lee in line with Covid-19 guidelines, the recording session included three newly orchestrated suites from Evita, Phantom Of The Opera and Sunset Boulevard.
