Holiday Pops

Why see Holiday Pops?

A Pop-tastic Christmas Celebration!

There's nothing like some holiday pops! As much a part of the Christmas celebrations as all those Nutcrackers and Christmas Carols, Holiday Pops sees your city's orchestra bringing the holiday cheer with a mix of popular standards, film scores, carols and hymns, so expect to hear everything from Mariah's 'All I Want For Christmas is You' to 'Silent Night'. 

Perfect for the whole family, the time-honored production is filled with Yuletide cheer, bolstered by upbeat arrangements of classic carols and popular Christmas songs, a joyful sing-along and a visit from the one and only St. Nick himself!

Wonderful December 24th at The Pops!

Yesterday four of my family attended the Christmas Eve Pops at 3PM. We sat in the second to the last row in the second balcony and loved our seats and view. The program was both moving and light hearted. It was all about community, inclusiveness and acknowledging losses. The Flander’s Field piece brought tears to our eyes and giving nods to our seat mates brought masked smiling eyes. The staff was kind and helpful. The program book was a little hard to read on our phones and we never found last nights program but it didn’t matter. The 12 Days of Christmas was creative and imaginative and we would like to have seen the printed words. Thank you to The BSO and Merry Christmas. ... Read more

The Twelve Days of Christmas

if you are looking forward to hearing The 12 Days of Christmas, (that they perform SOOOO well)- be forewarned it is NOT in the show this year. Although the tenor and new arrangements were good, we were terribly disappointed that the show did not include one of the most memorable versions I have ever heard. I think before going again, I will check the itinerary. Also, we have sat on the floor for both shows and all agreed there was too much distraction and would happily go up to one of the balconies. Because of the distraction, the music and singing could not be fully appreciated. Now i know for next time!!! All in all, the show was enjoyable, but be sure to make reservations at any restaurant far in advance. It gets crazy crowded around the holidays. Sorellina was a nice restaurant, and just down the block from Symphony Hall, but Monica's in the North End is far better if you want Italian. Thank you, Merry Christmas-- ... Read more
