"Accompanied by a 53-piece orchestra and 14-strong choir, the pop superstar forsakes many of her biggest hits to perform the entirety of her coolly received new album. After an opening medley of "End Of An Era" and "Houdini", Dua Lipa starts telling the audience about the many legendary performers who have preceded her on the stage of the Royal Albert Hall. There’s certainly plenty of pivotal moments in musical history to choose from but it turns out that the singer has rather more august figures in mind: “Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, Albert Einstein,” she offers. It’s impressive in scale and ambition, her voice is strong enough not to be swamped by the instrumentation, and there’s absolutely no reason why her brand of dance-pop shouldn’t work laden with strings and brass, it is, after all, ultimately rooted in disco, a genre seldom noted for its minimalist approach to arrangements."
