Performance Notes | The world premiere of Interstellar with Live Orchestra. 2014's ground-breaking sci-fi epic Interstellar will be brought to life by a live orchestra in a special gala screening at the Royal Albert Hall.
Interstellar Live will see the Christopher Nolan film shown on the big screen, whilst composer Hans Zimmer leads a 60-piece orchestra and the Hall's Grand Organ in a simultaneous performance of the movie's Academy Award and BAFTA nominated score.
The evening will be introduced by Sir Michael Caine, who played Professor John Brand in the film, and will also see a pre-performance conversation between executive producer and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne and director Christopher Nolan on the art, music and science behind Interstellar.
Interstellar, also starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Matt Damon, tells the story of a team of astronauts who travel through a wormhole in search of a new home for humanity. It was one of the biggest films of 2014, breaking box office records upon opening, and has been nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Original Score.
The event was filmed by One Box for Paramount.
This film is rated 12A by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).
A red carpet was laid in the West Car park for VIP guests, who included Jessica Chastain (actress), Michael Caine (actor) and wife Shakira, and Professor Stephen Hawking.
The Interstellar score is very special to me and working with Chris is always creatively exciting. I cant wait to perform the score live in the incredible Royal Albert Hall and work with the amazing London musicians who helped me create the original soundtrack. Hans Zimmer |
