The Royal Albert Hall Announce ‘The Artist’ Live In Concert For NYE!

THE ARTIST blew me away, and re-kindled a love for classic film with a reminder to where it all started, and how it all began in that fact. It’s now been announced that for the first time this Millennium, the Royal Albert Hall will open its doors for some very special end of year concerts to welcome 2014 in style.

Two years after it charmed the world with its nostalgic look at the golden days of the Hollywood silent film, THE ARTIST heads to the great Hall on Monday 30th and Tuesday 31th December 2013, in its live concert version, making this the perfect end of year treat.

The multi award-winning film is dramatically brought to life on stage with the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ernst Van Tiel, playing the soundtrack simultaneously with a high-definition screening of the film for an exclusive UK premiere.

Written and directed by Michael Hazanavicius and starring Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo, with the film’s soundtrack composed by Ludovic Bource, The Artist received universal acclaim from critics and audiences alike when it was released and went on to win five Academy Awards including Best Director, Best Actor and Best Picture, becoming the first French film to ever win Best Picture. Bource will also perform at the amazing event. Lead female star Bejo, had this to say:

‘Filming The Artist was one of the most incredible movie making experiences. To now see the film come alive in this way, within the extraordinary setting of the Royal Albert Hall, will be a special event indeed’ 

Ludovic Bource, the film’s composer, commented:

‘“Composing the soundtrack to The Artist was a dream come true and the music played an integral part in telling the story. It is a pleasure to bring this soundtrack to life at the Royal Albert Hall and to be performing alongside the wonderful London Symphony Orchestra.”
