It's possible they will run with a stage extension. Considering row A was reserved for the artists, this might be removed which would give them 1 meter extra stage space, according to the details in the hire pack. There are also the wings, the artists come on from the right hand side of the stage, so they would need some space there, but the left hand side could easily seat several of the musicians.

Oh, wow! I'm looking forward to meeting you in London, TullyBascombe. Libera live is a real experience! But not only this. I've been attending Libera concerts for a bit less than three years now and I can tell, that most Libera fans are the nicest people you can meet. I'm so glad to be in the Libera fan community. I'm sure you'll like it too.

Hello Andmar

Yes I am interested in one ticket. This is the first time I have posted on here so I don't seem to be able to use the PM system. I have attended most concerts in England since the first one in Ely but haven't met any members yet. Perhaps we could arrange a time to meet. I live in South Yorkshire and shall be in London for Tuesday and Wednesday, arriving on Tuesday afternoon. If you can give me any advice on using the PM system that would be good. Many thanks for your offer of the ticket and the price is ok.

Hi David, it's easy to use the PMs. Just select the "Private messages" link on the top of the page. You'll see my message in your Inbox. Select the message. Then you can respond by clicking on the "Send reply" button. Sure, I'm keeping one of the tickets for you. :D

Hello Andmar

Still not sure I'm understanding the process, but I'm quite happy that we have now reached an agreement for me to purchase one of your tickets. I can see your message in my "Private Messages" but don't seem to be able to post a reply there. I will meet you in the entrance as you say, I like to get inside as soon as the doors open so that I can get a signed program. I will be in touch again nearer the time.

The libera choir will be large, over 30 boys for sure. There is no way they can all fit the limited space between the two pillars in the back, when they are arranged in a large arc like for Sanctus.
They can be only on the front of the stage if they want to be arranged in their usual position and move freely on stage without the risk of falling.

See this photo retweeted today by the venue twitter account:
I agree. I also believe that Libera may be placed in the front with the orchestra behind them on an additional platform to sit a little higher, like it was done last year in Moscow.

After the situation in Moscow, where there was absolutely no possibility to sit in the front row behind Robert, I imagine that Robert asked for more space, as I think he'll be sitting in front of the stage at the level of the audience again.

I'm not sure what tickets Andmar has left but I still have one on row F if anybody is desperate for a ticket.
If I’ve got owt to say I says it, and if I’ve got owt to ask I asks it.
