Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning science fiction epic Interstellar is heading to London for a live-to-picture concert performance at The O2 Arena in May 2027.
Interstellar Live will feature Nolan’s full film projected on the arena screen while Hans Zimmer’s BAFTA and Academy Award-nominated score is performed live in synchronisation.
The production brings together the 65-piece Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra under the baton of conductor and longtime Zimmer collaborator Matt Dunkley.
They will be joined by organ soloist Roger Sayer, who was chosen by Zimmer to perform and record the prominent pipe organ parts for the original movie soundtrack.
The orchestral lineup includes 16 violins, eight violas, eight cellos, and four double basses, alongside woodwind, brass, harp, two pianos, two keyboards, and a rhythm section featuring timpani, large bass drum, and bass marimba.
Starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck, and Sir Michael Caine, Interstellar earned five Academy Award nominations upon its 2014 release, including Best Original Score, and won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.
The plot follows a team of explorers on an interstellar journey through a newly discovered wormhole to secure mankind’s survival.
The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra has previously staged major live film concerts including Gladiator, Top Gun: Maverick, Skyfall, Avatar, and Back to the Future.
Produced by Cutting Edge Group Presents in partnership with City Light Concerts, the London event features two showings: a matinee with doors opening at 12.30pm, and an evening performance with doors at 6pm.
The film carries a 12A certificate and will be presented with dialogue subtitles.
