And on 10th December My My! ABBA - The Christmas Concert brings a fabba-ulous sing-along of all your favourites. All shows will be performed in the round, in the intimacy of our heated 550-seat Spiegeltent, promising to transport audiences to a nostalgic and magical world this Christmas.
THE SPIEGELTENT
From the moment you step into the large foyer of the Fortuna you feel this is going to be a night to remember... This is something you have never seen before!
A European Spiegeltent (or magic mirrors) is a dazzling and intimate performance space. Dating from the late 1800s, the 'tent' is built from wood, cut mirrors, canvas, leaded glass, and detailed in velvet brocade. Only a handful of these special and legendary tents remain in the world and The Fortuna is one of the most beautiful, playing host to some of the world's greatest cabaret performers and musicians.
Step in the from the cold and prepare to be amazed.
