Sting at Xcel Energy Center
Sting crossed over to super-elite fame along ago, though he still manages to outdo (at least outsize) even himself. His latest project: An evening with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The ex-Police frontman, global activist, and pop-music icon has enlisted the London-based orchestra to “re-imagine” classics from his own lengthy catalogue, including “Roxanne,” “Every Breath You Take,” along with selections from his solo career. It’s Sting’s all-time greatest hits backed by a maestro and a symphony—completely ostentatious and totally fitting.
