Sunday Night Is Music Night: Celebrating 100 Years of Hollywood
Denis Lawson presents a special concert from Malta, celebrating 100 years of Hollywood's best loved music, featuring over 80 singers and musicians. Conducted by Mike Dixon.
One hundred years ago, in 1923, a sign rose from the scrub on Mount Lee in Santa Monica advertising a new housing development called 鈥楬ollywood-land鈥�. Few could have imagined that this dry piece of real estate would become the glittering movie capital of the world.
In tonight鈥檚 concert, a cast of over 80, including the 91热爆 Concert Orchestra conducted by Mike Dixon, perform a unique cinematic concert from one of Europe鈥檚 most popular movie locations, Malta, celebrating 100 years of tinsel-town in spectacular style.
Six outstanding West End soloists, Louise Dearman (Wicked) Gloria Onitiri (Bodyguard) Rebecca Trehearn (Bad Cinderella) Trevor Dion Nicholas (Aladdin) Jesse Smith (Led Zeppelin Symphonic) and Michael Xavier (Roman Holiday) together with chorus, Dynamic Vocals, led by Ben Francis, take us from the Golden Age to the present day. From the dancing feet of Astaire to the full-throttle sound of Top Gun: Maverick.
Presented by Star Wars legend Denis Lawson (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Local Hero, Bleak House).
