Der Herr der Ringe & der Hobbit – The concert
- Classical Music
Peter Jackson’s world-famous film celebrates its 20th anniversary! The music of the hobbits and orcs comes to the concert hall stage in an impressive concert experience with soloists, choir and orchestra. The menacing sounds of Mordor and the Black Riders, the beautiful lyrical melodies of the Elves – the renowned Cinema Festival Symphonics transform reality into a musical setting of Middle-earth.
Howard Shore composed much of the music for the film trilogies »The Lord of the Rings« and »The Hobbit« and received the Oscar, Grammys and the Golden Globe for it. His motifs are elementally touching when the ring unfolds its power and corrupts the bearer of all power: a parable with great contemporary relevance. Accompanied by violins, trumpets and timpani, the ensemble, soloists and choir whisk the audience away to the Shire, through the landscape of Rohan and up to Mount Doom.
The melodic tones of flutes and violins are supported by green landscapes and gloomy scenarios on the screen in the background. Animations specially developed for the production add an extra dimension to this symphonic event. »The last Goodbye« and »Far over the Misty Mountains cold« are performed by soloists with powerful voices who add a personal touch to the well-known songs. »The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit – The Concert« is a fantastic evening of a very special kind. Full of sound, full of atmosphere, unique!
With state-of-the-art technology, the Cinema Festival Symphonics will take Middle-earth fans and fantasy lovers on a musical journey through all of The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit films. The impressive light and screen animations flow harmoniously with the legendary melodies and enhance the atmosphere of each individual song. The ensemble celebrates a unique sound that fully immerses the audience in the world of fantasy and provides many goosebump moments!
