Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Concert
It’s no secret that the Star Wars film scores boast some of the most easily recognised and universally loved melodies of all time. Watching the futuristic franchise, including the most recent trilogy, is goosebump-inducing enough, but to really up the ante, catch a screening with a live orchestra.
Hamer Hall welcomes the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for a cosmic rendition of The Force Awakens. While the film plays on the big screen, the orchestra down below will play John Williams’ heroic score, conducted by Benjamin Northey.
The movie, set three decades after the destruction of the second Death Star, follows the unlikely teaming up of Han Solo and Chewbacca with and ex-stormtrooper and desert scavenger. Together with Resistance leader General Leia Organa, they try to overturn the First Order.
Strap in for two hours and four minutes of action, including time for an interval.
You’ve got three chances to catch the spectacle: May 22, 23 and 24. Tickets are selling fast so jump on it and purchase yours here. Prices start from $81.
