Posted by Team Boxwish 6 months ago
Got any plans this weekend? Well, if you live in the New York City area, cancel them as the only place to be this Friday and Saturday nights is Radio City Music Hall. The famous venue at Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center is playing host to a musical extravaganza that puts hobbits, wizards, dwarves and elves centre stage. Yes, we’re talking The Lord of the Rings, specifically the first instalment, The Fellowship of the Ring and its Oscar-winning score by celebrated film composer Howard Shore. This is to be performed live by some of classical music’s top names, all set to the action of the Peter Jackson movie which is projected onto a huge high-def screen. And there’s even set to be a star appearance from one of the film franchise’s star names. Clear your schedule – it’s time to book your ticket.
The music will come courtesy of the 21st Century Orchestra, The Collegiate Chorale, The Brooklyn Youth Chorus and soprano vocalist Kaitlin Lusk, all under the watchful eye of Swiss conductor Ludwig Wicki. Also listening intently will be Shore, who’ll be accompanied by Scottish actor, Billy Boyd, better known to LOTR lovers as Peregrin “Pippin” Took, who fans of the trilogy will remember has an ear for music having written and performed the haunting song “The Edge of Night” in the third chapter of the Tolkien classic, The Return of the King.
Tickets for the event aren’t cheap, but then that’s to be expected for such a special occasion, with prices starting from $54 and climbing to $150. If this sounds like what your weekend has been waiting for then head over to the Radio City Music Hall website here for more info and to snap up the last available tickets.
