An Evening with Dua Lipa

At every turn in An Evening With, Dua Lipa finds ways to add interesting touches to her most memorable songs. .... It works wonders visually. From Dua Lipa, to the musicians, to the lively Royal Albert audience, there is palpable joy in the room.

Most of her numbers open with a plaintively emotional verse, then the drummer kicks things into rhythmic overdrive. This happens enough to notice; ordinarily, a singer in any pop genre will do a few barn-burners then cool matters down with a ballad. .... That said, Ms. Lipa is out to please and does, turning the vault-like hall into an intimate space. The 90-minute program also features interview segments, which are charming breathers between performances.
