Perry Como's Christmas Concert is a 1994 live recording by Perry Como, the last before his death in 2001. Taped at the Point Theatre in Dublin before a live audience of 4,500 which included Irish President Mary Robinson, the concert was also issued on videotape and broadcast in the USA on PBS.[3] Como, looking frail and unwell was suffering from the flu and struggled to perform; he reportedly lost his voice at one point during the concert. [4] The entire performance is less than 90 minutes long, though the recording took over four hours to complete.[5] Despite it all, Como managed to complete his last recorded performance with dignity and professionalism, earning him the warm applause of his audience. Como later apologized to his audience for a performance he felt was not up to his usual standards.[6]
