The entry to the landmark was anything but smooth ! We walked all round the outside of the building and couldn't find an entry point. Finally i saw 2 security men who told us we were too early and to come back an hour later (e arrived at the time on our tickets). This was because of the light apparently. So we had to go to our restaurant and ask to be seated an hour early and then go back. the show was very enjoyable although some of the narration was not audible over the clapping fromt he audience encouraged by the performers.

Excellent singing performance and light display. Particularly enjoyed the journey through time and the accompanying music choice. The different lighting displays were spectacular and I particularly enjoyed the greenery and bees. Spoke to a lady in the audience who's daughter was the conductor for the music and had seen the performance several times. She advised me where to view and get the best appreciation but I consider that standing anywhere gives one a full experience and enjoyment. The different lighting themes were spectacular and certainly different. The cathedral walls and organ pipes give a wonderful surface for the light projections which moved around the room to give spectacular images to accompany and complement the music. The singers were fantastic and I particularly enjoyed the male falsetto, but all the soloists were excellent and the others backed them wonderfully. It's hard to imagine that there were only eight singers as their combined voices were phenominal.

The show was amazing and the singers were out of this world. It would be great if it was longer though. The show lasts 45 mins and it was over very quickly. Luminescence at Manchester was amazing overall and the light displays were beautiful but it was the singers that made it. My only mistake was paying for the Gold package it wasn’t worth the extra cost. The only real benefit was a drink, and the drinks themselves weren’t expensive enough to justify paying £10 more for the ticket. Aside from that, the experience was great – I’d just recommend sticking to a standard ticket.

If i could give more than 5 stars then I would. The show from start to finish was beyond belief. I was gutted when it ended. Christopher Eccleston talks us through the development of Manchester over the years which is coupled with cleverly thought out song choices. The gospel choir were fantastic and sang songs such as elbow, the verve, oasis and many more songs from epic bands. The entire performance is built around a light show which was beyond description. I would 100% recommend this event

Super easy to bo9k, great direction from staff, performance was amazing! Subtitles could have been usefull at times, could have been longer as it was that good, maybe a late night sing along and a slightly longer pause between music and voice over. Myself and a few people wanted to clap for the amazing performance but the voice over came on and did not want to interrupt. Myself and my oarter loved the show and have recommended it to others already.

Absolutely loved the show. The people giving us direction were lovely and friendly, and I loved how much the Gospel Choir seemed to be really enjoying themselves. They should be proud of themselves as they sounded wonderful. The lights were fabulous and I also enjoyed the narration of Christopher Eccleston. I brought my mum and she thoroughly enjoyed it, especially as she's not been to Manchester Cathedral before. I would recommend it.
