20 March 2027 Manchester (United Kingdom)
A Night at the Oscars
Hallé Orchestra conducted by Stephen Bell - Bridgewater Hall
Program Info: Hallé Orchestra Stephen Bell, conductor Akash Parekar, sitar
As the lights go down, be swept away by blockbuster music from a hundred years of cinema.
Hear the most memorable tunes from the Oscar-winning scores for Ben-Hur, Up, and Slumdog Millionaire. And the nominations are … the enchanting soundtracks to Gladiator, Interstellar and How to Train Your Dragon.
The orchestra brings its own magic to Morricone’s nostalgic theme for Cinema Paradiso and the lush Golden Age melodies of Korngold’s The Sea Hawk.
Highlights include the menacing theme to Taxi Driver, written by Hitchcock’s favourite composer and master of suspense Bernard Herrmann, John Williams’ suspenseful two-note motif, which brings the shark in Jaws to horrifying life and the symphonic jazz stylings of Henry Mancini’s score for Breakfast at Tiffany’s, which made Audrey Hepburn dub the composer ‘the hippest of cats’.
