Good Morning Lovelies, 

Get ready to feel the force this year lovelies, because Star Wars: A New Hope will be going on tour with a full live orchestral accompaniment for the first time ever in the UK this November!

And the Royal Albert Hall has got John Williams’ iconic score to be performed live on stage by the acclaimed London Symphony Orchestra, who played on the original soundtrack in 1977, as part of their dedicated Star Wars season, which includes Q&As, concerts and family events.

Speaking about the event, Grant Watmuff, Licensing & Strategic Partnerships Manager at Disney Music Group, said: “We’re delighted that Star Wars fans will have the opportunity to experience the music of the movie performed live to picture in the UK for the first time. From the opening fanfare to the final note, John Williams’ score for Star Wars: A New Hope is a genre-defining masterclass of cinematic composition.”

Whilst Lucy Noble, Artistic Director at the Royal Albert Hall, said: “During our nine years of pioneering the Films in Concert concept, there’s one movie that’s been requested more than any other, and that’s Star Wars: A New Hope. We’re ecstatic to announce its UK debut at the Hall this November, with the London Symphony Orchestra confirmed for this once-in-a-lifetime show. There’s simply no film – or score – that’s more iconic.”

And Kathryn McDowell, Managing Director of the London Symphony Orchestra, added: “The London Symphony Orchestra has a deep and long-lasting relationship with John Williams and particularly his music for the Star Wars films, having recorded the soundtracks for the first six episodes. The music of Star Wars is in the LSO blood and we are delighted to be involved in what will surely be a memorable series of performances.”

Don’t miss getting tickets, which go on sale at 10am on Friday lovelies, on the Royal Albert Hall’s website.
