The Continental Airlines Tower Festival 2009 is set in one of the most beautiful and spectacular historic royal palaces right in the heart of London. Performing many roles over the centuries, from royal apartments to prison, the 90ft high and 107ft wide White Tower was begun in 1078 by William the Conqueror and today is home to unique royal arms and armour including that of Henry VIII, as well as being the heart of the Tower of London World Heritage Site.
Arguably the finest celebration of, opera, dance, jazz, world and classical music in central London, the Continental Airlines Tower Festival will thrill and delight with breathtaking performances from a glittering array of stars.
