Katherine Jenkins is to perform a concert to commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE Day at the Royal Albert Hall.
But for the first time in the venue's 150-year history, it will be performed behind closed doors in an empty auditorium.
The event will last for half an hour and be streamed on the Royal Albert Hall’s official YouTube channel at 6pm on Friday.
Announcing the concert, Katherine said: "In London on VE Day 1945, over a million people celebrated Victory in Europe and the end of nearly six years of war.
“Crowds gathered en masse in Trafalgar Square and up the Mall to Buckingham Palace and whilst we may not be able to celebrate this year as we once did, it’s only right that we don’t allow the 75th anniversary of this historic day to be overshadowed.
"Having been part of the 60th and 70th events, I wanted to do something to help bring the nation and the world together in commemoration and celebration at this difficult time.
"I’m excited that we can still come together, albeit virtually, for a tribute of wartime songs and musical memories from London’s most iconic concert venue. The Royal Albert Hall will be seen like never before – empty, isolated and yet still breathtakingly magnificent!"
The historic concert will be in support of the Royal Albert Hall’s fundraising appeal and SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity’s Emergency Response Fund.
During the VE Day 75 performance, Jenkins will sing some wartime favourites.
These include The White Cliffs of Dover and We’ll Meet Again while concluding with British hymn Jerusalem.
We’ll Meet Again will be performed by virtual duet with Dame Vera Lynn herself.
The track was re-released last month with the proceeds from sales would go to the charity, NHS Charities Together which helps health workers with every day expenses and essential support.
Another concert that was due to take place on May 8 has now been postponed to September 20.
