It's all known that soundtracks play a crucial role in creating the atmosphere in cinematic key moments. Sometimes, they enhance the emotions evoked by the on-screen events. While in others, they entirely craft those emotions. Even if nothing dramatic is happening on the screen, tense music can instil a sense of fear. In contrast, epic music has the power to make you happy for character reunions.
It's undoubtful that the creation of music for movies involves the best contemporary composers! John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Ramin Djawadi, James Horner, Alan Silvestri - their names are engraved in the history of today’s classical music.
We chose the Medley genre, to merge and interweave key musical themes, and perform them in the most epic and piercing way possible. This is achieved using a large symphonic orchestra with 80 virtuoso musicians from St. Petersburg and Moscow, a digital organ, remarkable opera soloists, and a colossal light show!
The unique format of the show gives a 360° view of the orchestra, this format that has no analogues and is considered one of the most expensive and technically complex.
Even the largest arenas in the world with 360° seating around the orchestra provide the spectator with maximum immersion in the show, as well as give the opportunity to examine in detail the skills of virtuoso musicians and to be in close proximity to them.
In addition, the orchestra, located in the heart of the arena, creates an incredibly powerful sound that spreads throughout the hall in a single wave, as if penetrating the viewer and penetrating directly into the soul, and a spectacular light show and specially designed video sequence repeatedly enhances the emotional perception and director's idea! The arena turns into a real riot of colors and a triumph of sound!
The cinema world is both captivating and amazing! However, performing movie music is not as simple, as it seems. The musical accompaniment for each film is just like a patchwork, it’s woven from numerous short themes. Despite the main musical theme in a film, it usually is quite short and doesn't convey the full spectrum of emotions to the audience.
It’s our mission to create compositions that allow audiences to relive the plots of movies in their imagination and experience the full spectrum of emotions from these iconic films.
Come to the show and experience the thrill yourself!
