Read full details
Symphonica was the final concert tour by George Michael, featuring orchestral arrangements of songs from his albums *Songs from the Last Century* and *Patience*, along with cover versions. The tour kicked off in August 2011 at the State Opera House in Prague, with the Wrocław Philharmonic Orchestra serving as the opening act for the Poland date.
Attendees experienced a carefully curated setlist that included hits like "Freedom! '90" and "Praying for Time," as well as deeper cuts and covers such as "Roxanne" and "Feeling Good." The stage featured a semi-oval shape with a large screen projecting visual effects, creating an immersive concert atmosphere.
Though the tour faced cancellations due to Michael's illness, it later resumed in 2012. The album *Symphonica*, released in 2014, compiled studio recordings and live tracks from the tour, preserving this unique orchestral chapter of George Michael's career.
