ITV TO SPEND AN EVENING WITH DUA LIPA IN SPECIAL PROGRAMME
ITV and ITVX today announce An Evening with Dua Lipa produced by Fulwell 73 and Radical22 Productions, set to air on ITV1 and ITVX later this year.
Recorded at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall on 17th October 2024, global superstar Dua Lipa reimagined her hit pop songs especially for the occasion, accompanied by the 53-piece Heritage Orchestra conducted by Ben Foster, a 14-strong choir and her 7-piece band.
The special will be interspersed with intimate interviews, in which Dua reflects on the pivotal moments that have shaped her life and illustrious career. The dazzling London show was critically acclaimed and guests were treated to a surprise duet of ‘Cold Heart’ with musical icon Elton John, the debut live performance of ‘Dance The Night’ taken from the Barbie soundtrack, as well as 'Maria', 'Anything For Love', and ‘End Of An Era' from Dua’s latest album Radical Optimism, and more.
With four and five star reviews across The Times, Daily Telegraph, London Standard, Attitude, The Independent and more, Dua was crowned “Britain’s reigning pop star” who gave a performance packed with “pure pop perfection”, in an “impressive one-off show” which “displayed her talents in a new light”.
An Evening with Dua Lipa is produced by Fulwell 73 Productions and Radical22. Executive producers are Ben Winston and Sally Wood (Fulwell 73), and Dua Lipa, Dukagjin Lipa, and Peter Abbott (Radical22). It was commissioned for ITV by Lily Wilson.
Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment & Daytime Commissioning ITV added: “We‘re looking forward to bringing Dua’s exceptional Royal Albert Hall debut to audiences when it airs on ITV1 and ITVX later this year. It was such a special evening full of Dua’s top hits performed for the first time with The Heritage Orchestra, and none other than Elton John - it’s one not to be missed.”
Ben Winston, Partner at Fulwell 73 commented: “Dua Lipa is a phenomenal talent at the top of her game. Everyone at Fulwell 73 is so honoured and excited to be making this with her. I think it will be one of those shows that is remembered for a very long time.”
