Star Wars: A New Hope in concert
Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Ben Palmer - Meistersingerhalle


Program Info:
John Williams - Star Wars: A New Hope

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." For decades, the biggest science fiction saga in film history has delighted millions of fans of all generations worldwide. In Star Wars: A New Hope, the galaxy falls under the savage rule of the Empire after the Jedi Knights were defeated. Only one rebel group, led by Princess Leia, succeeds in stealing the blueprints for the Death Star and throwing the Empire into turmoil. The plans reach the old Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, who takes up the fight against the Empire with his apprentice Luke Skywalker and the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca. An adventure of life and death begins as Darth Vader is on their trail to prevent the destruction of the Death Star.

The Star Wars saga, thought through down to the last detail by George Lucas, revolutionised Hollywood's film landscape and has lost none of its fascination to this day. With its mythical story, compelling characters, and groundbreaking special effects, the Star Wars saga has become an icon of American culture. Conducted by Ludwig Wicki, the Munich Symphony Orchestra will perform John Williams' Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy-winning music at the Meistersingerhalle, while the full film will be shown on a giant screen.
