Review: Katherine Jenkins and Il Divo, LG Arena, Birmingham
Singing sweetheart Katherine Jenkins serenaded a sell-out audience as she brought glamour and style to Birmingham's LG Arena.
With her angelic, golden curls and dressed in a sumptuous purple silk frock, the Welsh songstress captivated the crowd in the city on Saturday night.
Around 11,000 eager fans gave Jenkins a rapturous welcome to the region as she united with classical quartet Il Divo for the concert.
She joined the group - Carlos Marin, David Miller, Sebastien Izambard and Urs Buhler - for the latest leg of their whistle-stop UK and European tour which continues in Manchester tomorrow night.
She accompanied the classical group at stages throughout the musical evening while also taking solo turns.
Fans arriving for the show had been able to keep up-to-date with the backstage preparations for the show as the singer posted a photograph of her self posing with Il Divo on social media website Twitter before hitting the stage.
And Katherine even had time to tweet a message paying tribute to her fans before her encore on Saturday saying: "Thank you Birmingham, You've been epic!!!!!"
The tour marked the first time singer had duetted with the multi-national group on the road for a string of co-headline performances marking the rise in popularity for crossover classical pop artists.
