A spectacular finale of the Starlight Symphony, a laser show and fireworks light up the sky while the Auckland Philharmonia plays the Lord of the Rings theme music.

Thousands of people gathered yesterday at the Auckland Domain to watch the Starlight Symphony, graced this year by world famous New Zealand opera Diva: Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.

The Skycity Starlight Symphony is a massive performance which includes the Auckland Philharmonia, the Skycity Massed Choir and a variety of performers. The show culminates with a laser show and fireworks. The audience are invited to make a donation or purchase a light stick. Every year a charity is selected to be the recipient of the funds raised. This years funds will go to Kidz First. It was a night to be remembered!
