Event Details
Back in the days of silent movies, the most lavish cinemas of the era employed orchestras to bring the images on the screen to life with sweeping, stirring sounds. That idea gets a new twist later this year when The Godfather – regularly voted one of the greatest films ever made – is given the orchestral treatment at the Royal Albert Hall.
The 1972 masterpiece, starring Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, was provided with music to match by composer Nino Rota, whose memorable score will be played live by some of the country’s top musicians as part of a series of screenings with orchestral accompaniment. The Corleones plus a conductor? That sounds like an offer you can’t refuse.
The Godfather Live takes place on 8 December 2014. Tickets: £15-£55. For info: royalalberthall.com.
