RTÉ Concert Orchestra
John Wilson, conductor

For the first time in Ireland...

A live screening of the all-time classic The Wizard of Oz accompanied by a live performance of the orchestral score by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra conducted by John Wilson.

This Judy Garland classic - a family favourite from the golden years of MGM - has been seen by more people than any other motion picture ever. Its images - the yellow brick road, the Kansas twister, the Land of Oz - and characters such as Auntie Em, Toto, Dorothy, the Tin Woodman and the Munchkins, as well as the film's final line, 'There's no place like home', and great songs such as Over the Rainbow, have gone down in cultural history. In this live performance of Harold Arlen's intricate and evocative music for the film, you'll also rediscover another reason that the film has become so iconic - its marvellous musical score.
   
Conductor and arranger John Wilson has transcribed Harold Arlen's score for the film which is stripped of all its orchestral elements to leave only sound effects, dialogue and singing. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this spectacle where audiences can enjoy the original artists along with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra. In association with The Ticket
