Georgia Toffolo sings backstage at the ABBA Museum in Sweden
Gerogie Toffolo took to Instagram on Wednesday to confess his love for Swedish pop legends ABBA.
The TV personality, 27, took to the microphone and belted out the group’s hit Dancing Queen at their interactive museum in their home country Sweden.
With a vintage-inspired play suit, the blonde beauty threw her arms in the air when she knew every word and called the evening a “highlight of life”.
Georgia – who has been in town and filmed and celebrated Midsummer – boogie in the mini recording studio located at the museum in Stockholm, which is packed with memories of the band.
The museum’s website states: ‘ABBA The Museum is an interactive museum where you can virtually try ABBA’s costumes, sing, play, mix original music and become the fifth member of ABBA by performing on our big stage with Björn, Benny, Frida and Agnetha. ‘
And Georgia really had the time of her life when the camera panned from Benny Andersson’s piano to the former Made In Chelsea star who sang passionately in the microphone.
Georgia playfully played the famous hit and pointed at friends before collapsing in laughter.
The reality star looked gorgeous in a perfectly selected floral play suit with a belt, which clung to her fantastic figure.
The star chose a simple palette of makeup for the evening and let her blonde curls fall straight down her back.
She wrote the funny clip: “For people who know me well, this is truly a highlight of life”.
And while Georgia lived its best life in the band’s hometown of Sweden, away in London, Abba has entertained fans at their ABBA Voyage concert residence, which was launched last month in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford.
The concert, which was five years in the making, sees the audience transported back to ABBA’s 1970s and 1980s when the eerie avatars produced classics such as SOS and Mamma Mia when they were backed by a ten-member live band.
Daily Mail’s Adrian Thrills praised the show, which is booked until May 2023, for giving it a generous four-star review and praising avatars for their “realistic” looks and “rocking” performance.
Critics said the highlights included a dance medley with Lay All Your Love On Me and Summer Night City, their performance of Waterloo – which saw the avatars projected onto vintage images from ABBA’s winning Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton in 1974.
Describing the show as “a concert like no other”, he wrote: “For those lucky enough to witness yesterday’s opening show of Abbas ‘virtual London residence, there was only one conclusion: Mamma Mia! How can we resist you?’
But he noted the inevitable disadvantage of an avatar-led concert, as he admitted that there could be no interaction with the audience or spontaneous moments normally seen in a live performance.
“The staging was undoubtedly spectacular, but there are still innate flaws in every virtual show,” he concluded.
The realistic avatars were created using motion capture and other technology Industrial Light and Magic, the special effects company founded by Star Wars director George Lucas.
For five weeks, the band recorded their movements with 160 cameras trained on them and a crew of 85 people manning the operation, which were then used as reference points to create the avatars.
An impressive one billion computer hours were then logged collectively from 1,000 special effects pioneers in four different studios to create the end result, ABBA Voyage.
During the concert, ABBAtars appeared on a screen with 65 million pixels, with light and other effects that created a futuristic 2D appearance, made more realistic by an accompanying ten-man band.
