Strictly speaking, this show does not form part of Roger's 2006 tour, as it is devoted to his opera, Ca Ira. Following the world premiere performance of the piece in Poznan, Poland, in August 2006 (with costumed actors taking part) it is different from the Rome shows in November 2005, which were far simpler events, just using projections.

On December 6th, we had confirmation from Roger's manager that Roger will be attending this particular show. Rick Wentworth will be conducting the orchestra and choir, as before.

Tickets can be purchased from solexplus.com and are now on sale.

With thanks to our good friend Bob Close, we have some great pictures from the rehearsals of the show. The first of these, to the left, shows The Pope.

Now, we know that in the August show in Poznan, Roger did a hush-hush cameo appearance as this character.

The question is, did he do the same in the Kiezv concert? The similarity is quite interesting...!
