Sting's 'Symphonicities' tour rocks with a classical twist - CNN interview Sting at the Hollywood Bowl...

Sting is front and center at the Hollywood Bowl, belting out the familiar melody of 'Roxanne', The Police's 1978 ode to a prostitute. All of a sudden, a cello solo fills the air.

Some actually head-bang while sawing enthusiastically on their violins...

Even so, to say the pleasures of Symphonicity (Sting's current tour with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, coming to New York's Metropolitan Opera on July 13 and 14), took me by surprise is a gracious understatement...
