The Lord of the Rings

A handling fee of 30 CZK applies. An incredible 25 years have passed since the premiere of the first part of the epic trilogy The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, directed by Peter Jackson and based on the book by J. R. R. Tolkien. Ten years after the sold-out performance with a live orchestra at the O2 arena, the legend of the ring comes to life once again. "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them." A unique combination of a spectacular film projection and live music by Oscar©-winning composer Howard Shore, performed by a 230-piece orchestra, choirs, and international soloists, promises a truly extraordinary experience for all the senses. The film will be screened in English with Czech subtitles. "The vast scope of the music requires a symphony orchestra, a mixed choir, a children's choir, and instrumental and vocal soloists singing in Tolkien's literary languages, but of course also in English," explains the composer. His compositional artistry is fully realized in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, creating a perfect backdrop to the story. Styles and instruments from various corners of the world illustrate and characterize the individual elements of Tolkien's saga. Shore's music captures not only vast emotions, distant vistas, and journeys full of obstacles and dangers, but also evokes the very structure of Tolkien's Middle-earth. Styles and instruments from various corners of the world provide a unique musical soundtrack for the individual elements of this magical world. Melodic Celtic tones are characteristic of the rustic and simple hobbits. The dwarves, Tolkien's rugged stone-breakers, are given rough male choruses in a parallel of harmony. The industrialized hordes of orcs demand the most aggressive sounds from Shorea, including Japanese taiko drums and metal bells and chains striking the piano strings, while the world of men---the wounded but proud heirs of Middle-earth---is represented by the harsh and probing elements of brass instruments. These musical worlds blend and occasionally join forces... and are always shaped by the sinister will of the Ring. The music of The Lord of the Rings ranks among the most complex and comprehensive works in the field of film music. The unique performance Lord of the Rings -- The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert allows the music to carry the weight of the narrative, creating an entirely new and dramatic concert experience. As Howard Shore says: "My first work on The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the music for The Fellowship of the Ring, marked the beginning of my journey into Tolkien's world, and I will always have a truly special connection to it and to the very experience of creating it." The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert is the only licensed original production, authorized directly by composer Howard Shore, in the Czech Republic!
