Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are to be celebrated in a spine-tingling symphony orchestra show.
The epic screen fantasies will be brought to life with a symphony orchestra and choir in an immersive live experience at Royal Concert Hall on June 12 2020.
Hit HBO series Game of Thrones has captured the hearts and minds of millions the world over, with its final season becoming the most talked about in television history.
Composer Ramin Djawadi began creating the music for the show in 2011, with most of the eerie, magnificent score back then being penned for a small string ensemble. With the success of the next six seasons of the show, the music budget became bigger and bigger, allowing Djawadi to create even more emphatic pieces for large orchestras.
The small screen adaptation of George R.R Martin’s series of fantasy novels has drawn in record numbers of viewers all across the world – scooping 38 Emmy Awards so far.
One of the most successful film series of all time, The Lord of The Rings, as well as its prequel series The Hobbit, will also have their most memorable pieces performed live in the concert.
The original trilogy of The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, directed by Peter Jackson, are among the highest grossing film series of all time, as well as being critically acclaimed – winning a combined 17 out of the 30 Academy Awards they were nominated for.
Howard Shore scored around 95% of the film’s length, with the soundtrack demanding a large symphonic ensemble resulting in around 12 hours of music released over various formats.
The success of the The Lord of the Rings’ soundtrack led Shore to also score Peter Jackson’s follow-up prequels to Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation of Smaug, and The Battle of the Five Armies.
Tickets are priced between £25.50 and £60 and you can get them here on Ticketmaster.
