This 2004 Christmas Day special offered the perfect post-dinner soundtrack featuring traditional Christmas hymns and classic carols. Wellington's Orpheus Choir and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra provide the musical backdrop, while presenter Simon Dallow introduces a range of vocal talent, including platinum-selling opera star Yulia Townsend, tenor Shaun Dixon, and mezzo-soprano April-Marie Neho. Russian-born Townsend performs an ethereal rendition of 'Bailero', and Dixon delivers a solemn 'O Holy Night'. There's dance too, with veteran performer Sir Jon Trimmer starring in an excerpt from ballet Coppélia.
