In a continuation of their incredible live orchestral events, the Royal Albert Hall have announced that the world premiere of ‘Titanic Live‘ will take place on 27th April 2015 and with a very special guest indeed. James Horner’s epic score will be brought to life like never before, with the composer himself conducting a 90-piece orchestra, choir and Celtic musicians whilst the film is projected on a vast HD screen and tickets are on-sale now!
Horner has composed for over 100 motion pictures, frequently collaborating with directors such as James Cameron and Ron Howard. Other scores include AVATAR (the only film to surpass TITANIC in box office sales), BRAVEHEART, ALIENS, APOLLO 13, STAR TREK II and recently, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN.
The 1997 blockbuster TITANIC, written and produced by James Cameron, became one of the most prolific movies of all time, grossing over $2 billion at the box office and winning 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director and more importantly, Best Original Song and Dramatic Score. Horner had this to say about the unique event:
“I am very flattered, and delighted to have been invited to perform the score of Titanic live with orchestra. Usually, putting the music into a film is a highly technical process that the audience never gets a chance to see. By performing the music live with the film, you, the audience, will experience the magic of seeing the live musicians, literally playing the music score as the film runs.”
He added:
“There are so many wonderfully talented people that perform the music of film scores, so it is a great honour for me to have the opportunity to share the experience, the musicians’ performances, all the ‘behind the scenes’ magic, with an audience.”
Jasper Hope, Chief Operating Officer at the venue, said:
“The Royal Albert Hall’s unique connection to the Titanic continues with the world premiere of Titanic Live. We are delighted that James will now return to conduct the world premiere performance of Titanic Live, with his incredible score performed live and in full for the first time to accompany a high definition screening of the blockbuster film.”
