At Christmas time what better way to celebrate than to watch the season’s favourite movie Universal’s LOVE ACTUALLY with a special bonus of watching LOVE ACTUALLY IN CONCERT with a full symphony orchestra!!
LOVE ACTUALLY IN CONCERT will bring the heart, humour, and intertwined stories of Richard Curtis' beloved Christmas classic in a special screening to be performed by The Metropolitan Orchestra conducted by Vincent Hardaker.
Conductor Sarah-Grace Williams said today, “LOVE ACTUALLY has become a cherished Christmas tradition for audiences around the world and performing its beautiful score live with a full symphony orchestra creates a truly unforgettable cinematic experience. Craig Armstrong’s music brings extraordinary warmth, humour and emotion to every scene, and hearing it performed live allows audiences to experience the film in an entirely new way. Whether it’s your first viewing or your fiftieth, there is something truly magical about sharing this story together in a concert hall. It’s the perfect way to begin the festive season”
A live orchestra performs the film's unforgettable soundtrack including Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You," Craig Armstrong's soaring score, and the timeless "Love Is All Around" while the complete film is projected on a cinema screen.
Since its release in 2003, “Love Actually” has become a modern holiday tradition, celebrated for its star-studded cast, endlessly quotable moments, and its warm portraits of love in all its forms. Written and directed by Richard Curtis, “Love Actually” follows 10 different, yet interweaving stories of love around the festive period, involving a variety of individuals, many of whom are interlinked as the plot progresses. The film features Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Bill Nighy, Martine McCutcheon, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley, Rowan Atkinson, Martin Freeman and many more.
LOVE ACTUALLY IN CONCERT transforms a modern Christmas classic into a shared, heartwarming, and joy-filled celebration, perfect for fans, families, and anyone who believes love, actually, is all around.
Over the past two decades, “Love Actually” has built a global, multi-generational fanbase and become a holiday viewing tradition for millions. Its beloved characters, memorable music, and heartfelt stories have helped cement the film as a modern Christmas classic. The film's composer, Golden Globe®, BAFTA® and Emmy®-winning Craig Armstrong OBE, is one of the most influential voices in modern film music, known for “Moulin Rouge!,” “Me Before You,” “Elizabeth: The Golden Age,” and more.
