Performance NotesCelebrate a worldwide cultural phenomenon in this screening of Back to the Future with a live orchestral accompaniment, held in the magnificent surroundings of the Royal Albert Hall.

Back to the Future, the delightful comedy adventure directed by Robert Zemeckis, was 1985's highest grossing film and sparked of one of the most successful trilogies of all time. The story follows Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), a typical American teenager of the '80s, who is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean 'time machine', invented by the slightly mad Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd).

This special evening will bring Marty's sensational adventure to life, as Alan Silvestri's compositions for the film are performed by a live orchestra alongside a big-screen viewing of one of cinema's most memorable stories.

Ahead of the event the DeLorean DMC-12 car from the film, was hosted on the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Steps to the south of the Hall during the day on 22 July 2015 between 11:30-14:00. On 4 July the DeLorean DMC-12 car was again hosted on the south steps for visitors to view and been photographed in.

The performance included a 20 minutes interval.

The performance featured 15 minutes of new material by composer Alan Silvestri, added to sections of the film in which there was no music previously present.

The film was rated a PG by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).

A VIP Reception package was available for £163.20 per person, which included access to a pre-show standing reception, complimentary cloakroom access, beer, wine and soft drinks, luxury menu of canpes and hot bowl food, Haagen-Daz ice cream in the interval, a premium arena seat and programme.

The Orchestra received a long standing ovation at the end of the show.
